Written by: Andrew Marquez, Sports Information Director

Walla Walla, WA - Five players in double-digits proves not enough in an offense-heavy game with the Wolves. Junior Darius Redrick racked up 29 points on 11-23 from the field, in 36 minutes of play.

What Happened

The first half of play kick-started with production from Seniors Michael Escobedo (8 points of final 14) and Trever Cooley (9 points of 9). Despite efforts from Multnomah's bench early on, the Wolves largest lead (20) came with seven minutes left in the first half. An impressive 33-11 run in the following six minutes by Multnomah gave the Lions a 2-point lead at 57 seconds. Quick baskets in the final minute put the Lions behind by three at the half. 

Halftime adjustments allowed the Wolves to open the score up to 11. Multnomah tied up the game for the last time with 13:24 left, 67-67; but the Wolves took off in the final nine minutes, taking the victory 112-103.
