Today (2/14): Celebrate Valentine’s Day With a Bivalve Doubleheader
College basketball
Women’s: Evergreen vs. Warner Pacific – CRC Gymnasium – 5:30 PM
Men’s: Evergreen vs. Warner Pacific – CRC Gymnasium – 7:30 PM
The Evergreen women can clinch a playoff spot tonight with a win against Warner Pacific. The Geoducks are 7-7 in the CCC and currently sit in sixth place and still have the potential to host a playoff game. Warner Pacific, meanwhile, is 2-11 in conference play. The two teams met on January 18th with Evergreen taking a 78-74 win in Portland.
The Geoduck men are still looking for their third CCC win and face a Warner Pacific team that sits in sixth place at 7-6 in conference and 13-12 overall. The Geoducks fell 79-70 in their first meeting this season.
Evergreen’s Heuer Steps Down
Monica Heuer with Brittany Gray
Yesterday, Evergreen announced that Monica Heuer will leave her position as head coach of the women’s basketball team after the season and move into a full-time administrative position with the athletics department. Heuer has been the coach at Evergreen for 13 seasons and has a 108-255 record in that time.
This year they are in the middle of one of their best seasons in program history at 11-10 overall and 7-7 in the CCC. They could clinch a playoff spot this weekend and could potentially host a playoff game. They are looking to finish with just their second winning record since the program started in 1997.
The new coach will be just the third coach in program history. Rick Harden was the first coach at Evergreen and went 13-95 in four seasons.
