KIRKLAND, Wash. – The Multnomah University women's basketball team dropped their second consecutive Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) contest on Saturday night to Northwest University, 66-79. The Lady Lions found themselves in an early 11 point hole in the first three minutes of the game and the margin remained steady through the rest of the match.
