Women: Evergreen vs. Northwest – CRC Gymnasium – 5:30 PM
Men: Evergreen vs. Northwest – CRC Gymnasium – 7:30 PM

Important Cascade Conference game tonight at the CRC Gymnasium when the Evergreen women host in-state rival Northwest at 5:30 PM. The Geoducks (6-5 CCC) are riding a four game winning streak and come into tonight a game back of the third place Eagles (7-4 CCC). The two teams met on January 4th in Kirkland and the Geoducks took home a 69-61 win behind 17 points from Sadee Jones and Sammi Clark. Northwest is 15-8 this season overall while the Geoducks are 10-8.

Can the Evergreen men make it two in a row? They will have to pull off the upset to make it happen against a Northwest (7-4 CCC) team that beat them pretty easily in early January, 87-73. But the Geoducks (2-9 CCC) have been a different team since then and with the emergence of Dre Taylor and the three point shooting of Kyle Calhoun, they are suddenly poised for an upset on any given night.
