PORTLAND – Four Eagles scored in double figures, and Northwest expanded its win streak to six games with an 82-75 victory at Warner Pacific Saturday.
 
Sam VanLoo led the Eagles with 15 points, followed by Maya DuChesne with 14, Andie Kristinat with 11, and Grace Meza with 10. Caitlin Monten had eight points to go with a team-leading nine rebounds. 
 
Meza and Kristinat had four assists each.
 
"This was a real win by committee tonight," said NU Head Coach Ken Crawford. "I think our depth made a big difference. Warner Pac gave us all we could handle on their home court, and I was pleased with the way that we showed patience and perseverance when things were not going so well."
 
The Eagles shot 54 percent from the field, including an 8-for-19 night from three-point range.
 
Meza hit back-to-back three-pointers to give NU a 16-6 lead midway through the first quarter.
 
The Knights rallied back to take a 43-38 lead at halftime. 
 
WPU led by as many as 10 points on two occasions in the third quarter, but Northwest closed out with a 17-6 run, including four points by Monten. The Eagles led 60-59 going into the final quarter.
 
Still clinging to a two-point lead with 5:33 to play, Northwest's defense stiffened and grabbed four turnovers down the stretch.
 
Monten had her last four points in an 11-2 run to give the Eagles an 82-71 lead with 1:45 to play.
 
Northwest returns to action Friday with a trip to Pacific University.
