It’s the final home game of the season for both SPSCC and Evergreen. It’s senior night and the final home game for two starters, Sammi Clark and Jessica Denmon. Clark is averaging 15 points per game this year and averaged in double-digits in each of her three seasons as a Geoduck. It might also be the last home game for head coach Monica Heuer, who will step down at the end of the season.

The Saint Martin’s men host a crucial GNAC game tonight when they take on Western Oregon at 7:00 PM.
