In game two of the doubleheader, Brad Norman drained a pair of free throws with seven seconds left to tie the game at 66 and force overtime.

Tied at 32, Northwest Nazarene went on a 9-0 run followed by a Saint Martin’s 11-0 run that gave them a 43-41 lead that was then followed by a 10-0 Crusaders run.

Today (2/6): Saints Host Important GNAC Doubleheader
Saint Martin’s men’s head coach Michael Ostlund
Women: Saint Martin’s vs. Alaska Anchorage – Marcus Pavilion – 5:15 PM
Men: Saint Martin’s vs. Northwest Nazarene – Marcus Pavilion – 7:30 PM
A pair of big games on tap tonight at Marcus Pavilion when the Saint Martin’s women face Alaska Anchorage and the men follow them up with a battle with Northwest Nazarene.
The women currently sit in sixth place in the GNAC at 6-4, a half game behind a big pack of teams at 7-4 including tonight’s opponent, Alaska Anchorage, and a game and a half ahead of seventh place Northwest Nazarene. The Seawolves are the top scoring team in the GNAC and fourth in the nation scoring 84.5 points per game. The Saints knocked off the Seawolves on January 11th, 85-78.
The men get a second chance at Northwest Nazarene after they fell apart in the second half and gave up a 14 point halftime lead in an 80-76 loss in Nampa. Since then, the Crusaders (3-7) have dropped five straight games and are a half game behind the Saints, Montana State-Billings and Western Oregon for sixth place in the GNAC. Six teams make the conference tournament hosted by the Saints in March.

A Hawks win tonight could put that #2 spot back in play with WF West still looming on Black Hills’ schedule. River Ridge is ranked #4 in the latest AP 2A girls basketball rankings while Black Hills is right behind them at #5.
Over at Olympia High School, the Bears host South Kitsap with third place in the 3A Narrows on the line. Oly sits at 6-3 in league while the Wolves are just a game behind them at 5-4. The two teams met on January 8th in Port Orchard and South Kitsap came out on top, 40-38.
