The Seawolves recorded an impressive 80-58 victory over the Western Oregon University Wolves in front of a home crowd on Feb. 18. Vishe’ Rabb led UAA with 29 points. 

The game was hot from the tip off, with Jahnna Hajdukovich drilling a three pointer only 22 seconds into the game. Oregon responded though, with back-to-back layups.

UAA outscored WOU 14-3 for the rest of the first quarter. The ladies entered the second quarter with a 29-10 lead over the opposing team. 

The Seawolves played great team basketball during the second quarter, with seven different players adding points to the scoresheet. UAA entered halftime with a 48-26 advantage over the Wolves. 

Oregon managed to fightfit their ways back to a 13 point deficit with two minutes left until the fourth quarter, but that’s the closest the Seawolves allowed them to get. UAA led 64-48 entering the final quarter. 

Despite already leading by 16 points, the Seawolves continued to play hard and extend their lead. Rabb scored six points into the final period to work her way up to 29 points, and the Seawolves won the game 80-58.

Jazzpher Evans was the second highest scorer for the Seawolves with 13 points, and Robertson took the number three spot with 12 points.
