combined to hit six 3-pointers and scored 15 points apiece off the bench
to lift the Columbia Basin College Hawks to a win over the Roadrunners
at the Warrior Classic at Walla Walla Community College on Friday.
CBC
took control early in the game with a strong defensive effort, taking a
36-16 halftime lead. The Hawks held Linn-Benton to just 26.3 percent
(15-for-57) shooting and outrebounded the Roadrunners 53-32.
