Post game interview from SMU Saints YouTube channel

Saint Martin’s 78, Simon Fraser 65 – Recap from SMUSaints.com

Saint Martin’s made seven three pointers in the first half and opened up a 12 point lead, 37-25, going into the break and used stingy defense to hold the GNAC’s third leading scoring team well below their average en route to a 78-65 win over Simon Fraser.

Eric Taylor missed just one shot all night going 6-of-7 from the field including two threes and a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line to finish with 18 points. Rei Jensen equalled Taylor with 18 points and pulled down 11 rebounds. Not to be outdone, Roger O’Neill added 17 points and the Saints moved to 2-4 in the GNAC.

Saints center Matt Dodson blocked three shots and Will Bond added two more each on Clan three point attempts. Bond finished with seven points in just ten minutes of action.

Anto Olah and Matt Raivio each scored 14 points for the Clan who shot just 33.3% from the field and lost their eighth straight game. Simon Fraser is now 0-6 and remain in the conference basement.

After an even third quarter, River Ridge quickly built their lead to 16 points, 46-30, in the early stages of the fourth.

Within a minute and a half, River Ridge built their lead back to 13 points and never looked back closing the game with a 22-5 run that gave them a 73-50 win and moved their 2A EvCo league record to 4-3.

Brad Wallace finished with 29 points for the Hawks. The loss was the first conference defeat of the season for WF West. They still sit in first place at 6-1.

Tonight (1/15): Hawks host Bearcats, T-Birds face Cougars

HAWKS_1Boys basketball takes center stage in town tonight with a pair of intriguing 2A EvCo games

Preseason favorite River Ridge currently sits at 3-3 in league play, three games behind undefeated WF West. The Bearcats come to Lacey tonight where the Hawks will try to avenge one of their two losses. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM.

On December 11th, without head coach John Barbee on the bench following an ejection during the JV game, Brad Wallace hit a three pointer with 14 seconds remaining to give River Ridge the lead. But Brock Wade answered right back hitting a bucket with three seconds left to give WF West a 61-60 win. Wallace finished with 20 points. Since that game, Wallace has scored 30 points in five of seven games.

Across town, second place Capital travels to Tumwater to take on the T-Birds. The Cougars are 4-2 in EvCo play including a 78-58 contentious win over the T-Birds on December 11th. Jared Eidenmuller scored 29 points for Capital in the win. Tip-off is set for 7:30 PM.
