Today: a rare Geoducks Monday
Corban College comes to town this afternoon for a rare Monday doubleheader at The Evergreen State College.
The Evergreen women take on the NAIA Division II 15th ranked Warriors (14-5 overall, 8-2 CCC) and will have the tough task of trying to shut down Katie Steigleman and her 21.8 points per game. Steigleman returned yesterday at Northwest Christian after missing six games due to a knee injury and scored 28 points in their 63-51 victory at Northwest University. Tip-off is scheduled for 3:00 PM.
Following the women, the Evergreen men and their six players (maybe seven) will try again for their first conference win against the Warriors (11-11 overall, 3-7 CCC) who are coming off a 75-65 loss to Northwest last night. Tip-off is at 5:00 PM at the CRC Gymnasium.
Last night: Geoducks struggles continue
Men’s basketball: Northwest Christian 86, Evergreen 70 – The Geoducks only dressed six players while the Beacons played 14 players. I think this tweet from head coach Arvin Mosley Jr. tells the whole story…

The loss drops the Geoducks to 1-18 overall and 0-10 in conference play.
Women’s basketball: Northwest Christian 46, Evergreen 39 – It took the Geoducks until the 7:12 mark in the first half to score their first basketball but they still managed to chip away at a double digit lead and were only behind 19-14 at the half. After tying the score at 21, the Beacons went on a 13-0 run and never looked back en route to their first conference win. The Geoducks Danielle Swain had 10 points and tied a school record by bringing down 21 rebounds. Evergreen is now 4-15 overall and 2-8 in the CCC.
Tonight: Evergreen finally gets to play
After a week of snow and ice, falling trees and no power, the Evergreen campus is finally open again and ready to host some basketball.
The Evergreen women (4-14 overall, 2-7 CCC) face off against Northwest Christian (8-13 overall, 0-9 CCC) at 5:30 at the CRC Gymnasium. The Geoducks beat the Beacons 67-62 in the first meeting on December 20th but took CCC first place Oregon Tech to double overtime before eventually losing 66-68 last Saturday.
The woefully undermanned Evergreen men (1-17 overall, 0-9 CCC) hope to pick up a win over one of the weaker Cascade Conference teams, Northwest Christian (9-12 overall, 2-7 CCC). But even with a more complete roster on December 20th, the Geoducks still lost to the Beacons 96-79 in Eugene. Tip-off is at 7:30.
Last night: tough losses for Saints and Shock
Men’s Basketball: Alaska-Anchorage 64, Saint Martin’s 54 – Anchorage’s Taylor Rohde – an Arizona State transfer – scored 20 points and pulled down 10 rebounds in Seawolves 64-54 victory at Marcus Pavilion. The Saints top two scorers, Jeremy Green and Roger O’neill were held to only 10 points on a combined 4-for-21 shooting. The loss drops the Saints to 8-10 overall and 3-4 in the GNAC. More from SMUSaints.com and The Olympian.
Women’s Basketball: Alaska-Anchorage 83, Saint Martin’s 48 – The first place Seawolves had too many weapons for the Saints to handle on Saturday night in Anchorage. Led by 23 points from Haley Holmstead, Alaska opened up a 17 point advantage at halftime and never looked back. The Saints were led by Jordyn Richardson’s 18 points off the bench. More from SMUSaints.com
Arena Soccer: Marysville Ruckus 7, South Sound FC 5 – The winless Ruckus scored the final five goals over the last 20 minutes and knocked off the Shock 7-5. The Shock are now 2-3 in the PASL-Premier.
Tonight: Saints and Shock
The weather is still having an effect on local sporting events as both Evergreen and South Puget Sound have postponed their games originally scheduled for tonight. The Geoducks may play on Sunday and Monday if power can be restored and the Evergreen campus is deemed safe. If it is not, then the the poor Geoducks have agreed to travel to Eugene and Salem for these games. No dates have been set for the postponed SPSCC games.
But there are still a couple things happening this weekend if you are feeling as stir crazy as I’m feeling…
Saint Martin’s men vs. Alaska-Anchorage – Marcus Pavilion – 7:00 PM – The Saints are riding a three game winning streak into Saturday night’s game. Last Saturday they knocked off then first place Western Oregon 74-65 and this Saturday face the second place Seawolves who are 12-4 overall and 6-2 in the GNAC.
South Sound FC vs. Marysville Ruckus – Tumwater Indoor Sports – 7:00 PM – Olympia’s newest team and very first indoor soccer team, South Sound FC , opened their home season at Tumwater Indoor Sports last Saturday and knocked off the Wenatchee Fire 8-4 to push their PASL- Premier record to 2-2. This week the 0-4 Marysville Ruckus come to town sporting a -27 goal differential. Ouch. Tickets are only $5 and the first 50 fans through the doors get a souvenir schedule poster.

Last night: Saints men win, women lose
Men’s Basketball: Saint Martin’s 70, Alaksa-Fairbanks 53 – The Saints outscored the Nanooks 49-24 in the second half and moved to 8-9 overall and 4-4 in conference play. Brok Pendelton led the Saints with 22 points and Roger O’Neil chipped in 16. The Saints trailed at halftime 21-29 on only eight field goals in the first half. SMUSaints.com has the full story.
Women’s Basketball: Alaska-Fairbanks 62, Saint Martin’s 51 – Chelsea Haskey scored 19 points for the Saints in Fairbanks but the Nanooks picked up their first conference win and snapped a seven game losing streak behind 17 points and 12 rebounds by Mukilteo native Nicole Bozek. The loss drops the Saints to 7-11 and 2-6 in the GNAC. Here’s the game recap at SMUSaints.com
Tonight: Nothing
All area high school games have been postponed and Evergreen’s games against Northwest Christian have been moved to Sunday. So Olympia, we got nothing tonight. Go read a book. May I recommend The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach?
Evergreen weekly releases
UPDATE: Friday’s doubleheader against Northwest Christian has been moved to Sunday at 2:00 and 4:00 PM.
The Evergreen basketball teams play Northwest Christian and Corban College at the CRC Gymnasium at Evergreen this weekend. Tip-off on Friday and Saturday is at 5:30 for the women and 7:30 for the men. Here is Evergreen’s weekly release for the women and for the men.
Tonight: Saint Martin’s men vs. Alaska-Fairbanks
UPDATE: Saints win! Saints win! 70-53. They move to 4-4 in GNAC play.
The Saint Martin’s men’s basketball team (7-9 overall, 3-4 GNAC) take on the Nanooks of Alaska-Fairbanks (4-13, 1-6 GNAC) tonight at Marcus Pavilion at 7:00 PM. As of 7:00 AM, the game is still a go despite the snow and ice blanketing Olympia. Hopefully the Nanooks are already in town (and enjoying our tropical weather, comparatively) and the game will be played in front of a loud crowd of bored, snowbound students and otherwise hearty souls. Gail Wood has the preview over at smusaints.com.
Meanwhile, the Saints women are in Fairbanks to take on the Nanooks tonight at 8:00 PM. Live stats are available here.
