Men’s Basketball soar and fall, during two GNAC games at home

Hannah Greene  | Sports Editor

During the first week back, the Men’s Basketball team held two home GNAC games.

Thursday, Jan. 9, the Wolves played against Saint Martin’s University.

The first quarter began and right away the Wolves took the lead and found their tempo. The Wolves continued their A-game from defense to offense, causing multiple turnovers from the Saints. From starters to bench players, every member of the Wolves were able to make an impact and even score. When the final buzzer rang, the Wolves brought home their third GNAC win, beating the Saints 108-73.

After winning a great game, the Wolves came back this past weekend to play Seattle Pacific University on Saturday, Jan. 9 — a battle that ended in overtime.

The Wolves and Falcons brought energy and desire to win, each team flipping the tables every quarter of the game. After ending the fourth quarter with a score of 76-76, the Wolves and Falcons entered overtime.

Though each time was on fire, the Falcons pulled away and were able to secure the lead to win the game. The Falcons flew home with a 10-point lead over the Wolves’ 88 points.

Up next the Wolves travel to play Simon Fraser University on Jan. 16 at 7 p.m.
