The Northwest Eagles closed out the weekend with a convincing victory, fueled by a lockdown defensive effort in the second half—particularly a suffocating fourth quarter that finally created the separation they'd been working for all game. Pacific Union refused to go away early, matching the Eagles possession for possession through much of the night, but Northwest's depth and defensive focus ultimately tipped the scales.

Kaleah Medeiros delivered a standout performance, pouring in 20 points on 9-for-22 shooting to lead all scorers while adding energy on both ends of the floor. She set the tone offensively, attacking consistently and giving Northwest a steady scoring option when the game tightened.

Jersey McGehee continued her impressive weekend with a 13-point outing, knocking down three triples and providing a needed spark each time Pacific Union threatened to swing momentum. Her poise and efficiency helped stretch the Eagles' lead down the stretch.

Perhaps the most complete stat line of the night came from Taimane Faleafine-Auwae, who contributed 6 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals, impacting the game in every phase. Her presence was felt on the glass, in the passing lanes, and in the flow of the offense as Northwest steadily pulled away.

The Eagles also received balanced contributions throughout the roster. Ellie Bost added 5 points and gave energetic minutes on the perimeter. Ella Whitaker chipped in 9 points and 4 boards in 34 strong minutes, while Ellie DeWaard provided toughness inside with 5 points and a team-high 9 rebounds. Faith Dumlao and Adriana Milanez each knocked down threes off the bench, and Kamille Febo-Santiago added 4 steady points in limited action.

Most importantly, Northwest was able to get everyone on the floor, a rewarding way to cap a productive weekend of basketball.

With momentum building and confidence growing on both sides of the ball, the Eagles now turn their attention to a big week ahead—their first home game on Tuesday against Whitworth, where they'll look to carry this energy onto their home court.
