Evergreen used a 9-1 run to open up the second half and took a 37-35 lead with 17:43 left but the Saint Martin’s went on their own 15-3 run over the next nine minutes and never trailed again in a 62-53 exhibition game win at the CRC Gymnasium on Tuesday night.

Brooke Paulson scored 18 points and Krista Stabler kicked in 16 for the Saints. Swedish Freshman Elin Johanson started in place of Megan Wiedeman and pulled down 12 rebounds to go with her eight points. The Saints held Evergreen without a field goal from the 14:35 mark to just under the two minutes left to play.

The Geoducks were led by Uriah Thomas and Brittany Gray with 11 points apiece. Evergreen played just eight players and both Sadee Thomas and Gray fouled out.
