Women's Basketball Tops Lewis & Clark, Celebrates NWC Title

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - Korin Baker delivered a double double with game highs of 20 points and 12 rebounds and, one weekend after clinching the Northwest Conference regular season title, the No. 6 Whitman College women's basketball team took down Lewis & Clark 61-48 on Friday night at the Sherwood Center.

Kaylie McCracken added seven points and five rebounds for Whitman who celebrated the win with a net cutting ceremony following the game. The Blues set the stage for the big win with a solid first quarter followed by a dominant second 10 minutes to lead by 22 points at the break.

Eva Richards and Delsie Johnson led the Pioneers each scoring 14 points with Johnson adding a team-high seven rebounds before fouling out.

The Blues led by one point in the first quarter and didn't catch fire until just over five minutes to play. Shaira Young connected on back-to-back jumpers before Lindsay Drango and Baker tacked on another pair of buckets. Macy Hampton nailed a three pointer inside of 30 seconds to play to help Whitman take a seven point lead into the second quarter.

Whitman blew the game open in the second, allowing only four Pioneer points while adding another 19. A handful of Blues got in on the action as Sydney Abbott hit from the floor and Kaelan Shamseldin nailed a three pointer to push the lead to 33-16 inside of four minutes to play until halftime. Meanwhile, Whitman locked in defensively and held Lewis & Clark scoreless for the final 5:34 of the period.

The Pios cut into the lead in the second half, but the damage had already been done. Johnson hit a pair of free throws to shave the lead to 12 points in the fourth quarter, but back-to-back layups from Baker pushed the lead back up to 15 points with 2:03 to play.

The Blues now play their regular season finale tomorrow versus George Fox. Tipoff for the Senior Day game is set for 4:00 p.m.
