The big day for Tumwater is here. Can they finish off this undefeated season and avenge last year’s state title loss these same Lynden Lions? Well, not quite the same. Still good, without question, but the Lions have a much different team and were not quite as dominant as last season despite their undefeated record. It should be a great game, don’t miss it.

Women’s basketball

Saint Martin’s 64, Central Washington 49 – Box score
Team 1st 2nd Final
Central Washington (0-1 GNAC, 3-3 overall) 19 30 49
Saint Martin’s (1-0 GNAC, 4-3 overall) 26 38 64
SMU leader: Chelsea Haskey – 21 points, 10 boards

After shooting just 26% in the first half, the Saints came out of the locker room red hot and went on a 17-3 run over the first six minutes of the second half and never looked back, knocking off Central Wasington in the GNAC opener, 64-49, at Marcus Pavilion.

Chelsea Haskey scored 21 points and pulled down 10 rebounds and Angela Gelhar added 12 points but it was Krista Stabler’s two straight three point plays that sparked the Saints run early in the second half.

Stabler drove down the right side of the lane on two straight possessions and hit the shot after being hammered by Central’s India Matheson and Melanie Valdez. The sophomore hit both and-one free throws and the Saints built a lead that would never shrink below 12 points the rest of the way.

The Saints scored 24 points off of 25 turnovers and held the GNAC’s leading scorer, Jessica VanDyke, to 16 points, five points off of her average over the first six games. VanDyke committed two fouls in the first four minutes and sat for a long spell in the first half. She played just 23 minutes and was on the Wildcats bench for the final five minutes of the game.

The Saints move to 1-0 in the GNAC and 4-3 overall while Central falls to 0-1 in conference and 3-3 overall.

Saint Martin’s vs. Central Washington
Marcus Pavilion – 7:00 PM
Live stats and video

The Saint Martin’s women open up GNAC play tonight when they host Central Washington at 7:00 PM. The Saints are a head scratcher of a team right now. They won three straight games including a convincing 68-30 win over Northwest on November 23rd at Marcus Pavilion. But a week later, the Saints dropped a 78-76 decision to those same Eagles in Bellingham and then followed that up with a 17 point loss to PLU on the next day. They sit at 3-3 overall.

Central Washington is 3-2 this season and is led by Jessica VanDyke, who is having a breakout beginning to her senior season scoring 21.4 points per game with 7.2 rebounds. Olympia’s Lauren Herseth is on the Wildcats roster but has not joined the basketball team yet. She is also a Central volleyball player and will play for the Wildcats in the NCAA regionals.

Men’s basketball
Metro State 94, Saint Martin’s 77 – Recap
Lane 77, SPSCC 71

Saint Martin’s took a 2-0 lead over the #1 ranked NCAA Division II team in the nation but Metro State opened up a ten point lead with less than five minutes gone and the Saints were unable to get closer than six again and fell to the Roadrunners, 94-77, at Carver Gym in Bellingham.

Five Saint scored in double-digits, led by Evan Coulter’s 14 points. Tyler Copp got his first start and hit four three pointers to finish with 13 points. Isaac Bianchini and Will Bond each added 11 points and Riley Carel added 10.

Brandon Jefferson scored 28 points and Mitch McCarron added 22 for Metro State. 12 of McCarron’s points came from the free throw line as the Roadrunners went 35-of-42 from the charity stripe while Saint Martin’s shot just ten free throws all game long.

The Saint fall to 0-5 this season and will open up GNAC play on Thursday in Burnaby, British Columbia against Simon Fraser.

Northwest 78, Saint Martin’s 76 – Recap

Well, this is a head scratcher. Less than a week after knocking off Northwest University by 38 points at Marcus Pavilion in a game that was never even remotely competitive, Saint Martin’s were stunned by the Eagles, 78-76, in the Lynda Goodrich Classic at Carver Gym in Bellingham.

Northwest opened up a 13-2 lead at the 15:20 mark of the first half and trailed by as many as 15 in the first half before Jordyn Richardson hit a 35-foot three pointer at the buzzer to get the Saints back within nine at the break.

The Saints rallied back in the second half and took a seven point lead on a Brooke Paulson layup with 6:05 remaining. But the Eagles answered back with a 9-2 run giving them a 67-66 lead at the 4:32 mark. Two lead changes and a tie later, Angela Gelhar hit two free throws with 20 seconds left to tie the game at 76-76. But Jordan Asher scored the go ahead bucket with 7.2 seconds remaining and Gelhar missed on a last second shot and Northwest held on to the shocking 78-76 victory.

Chelsea Haskey scored 20 points and Paulson added 17 for the Saints, who fell to 3-2 on the season and snapped a three game winning streak.

Sanda Milovic scored 23 for Northest.

Women’s basketball
Evergreen 84, Lewis & Clark 75 – Recap
Saint Martin’s 68, Northwest 30 – Recap

With 4:14 left to play, Katie Anderson hit a three pointer to put Lewis & Clark up 71-68 over Evergreen at the CRC Gymnasium. But the Geoducks finished the game on a 16-4 run to upset the NCAA Division III’s 17th-ranked team, 84-75. The Geoducks shot 52.4% from the field and had five players score in double digits including Kiemba Pearson’s 17 points off of the bench.

Sadee Jones and Jessica Denmon scored 15 and 14 points respectively and Brittany Gray added 13 with eight rebounds. Sammi Clark went scoreless in the first half but chipped in 11 points in the final 20 minutes to go along with six assists.

Evergreen won their third game in a row and are 3-2 this season.

————–

Saint Martin’s gave up just 30 points tonight, the least amount of points they have allowed since they jumped to NCAA Divison II, to waltz to a 68-30 win over Northwest University at Marcus Pavilion. The Eagles committed 32 personal fouls and the Saints made 24 of 37 free throws while Northwest shot just four free throws all evening.

The Saints hit eight three pointers, three each from Angela Gelhar and Jordyn Richardson, who scored 14 and 11 points respectively. Ciara Pedroni and Chelsea Haskey tallied 11 points each and Liz Mills added 10.

Northwest kept it close in the early going and led 10-9 with just eight minutes gone but were held scoreless over the next five minutes and the Saints went on a 27-5 run over a 12 minute span to close out the first half.

Just like Evergreen, Saint Martin’s has won three straight games and is 3-1 this season.

Tumwater trailed for the first time in the postseason when White River jumped out to a 7-0 lead and led by just seven at the half, but turned on the afterburners in the second half to heat up the frigid crowd and to roll past the Hornets, 45-7.

The T-Birds will likely travel to the Tri-Cities on Saturday next week to take on Prosser, who knocked off Mark Morris 45-22. The game is expected to be played at Lampson Stadium in Kennewick on Saturday afternoon.
