| Basketball Teams Start Strong FOR THE FIRST TIME in the 25-year existence of the women’s basketball program, the Falcons broke into the top five of the national rankings in mid-December. Thanks to several lopsided victories, plus a win over North Dakota State, another nationally ranked team, Seattle Pacific University shot up to No. 2. Center Kelley Berglund and forward Kristin Poe each earned a tournament MVP honor in the first two weeks of the season. Meanwhile, the men’s team has also started strong in its first season under Coach Jeff Hironaka. Seattle Pacific won the Vitamilk Tip-Off Classic and proceeded to post a pair of impressive road w ins to begin Great Northwest Athletic Conference play. Two of the triumphs came at the expense of rival Central Washington. Yusef Aziz, who exploded for 32 points in the first win over the Wildcats, is averaging nearly 20 points per game. Both teams face nationally ranked teams at Brougham Pavilion in February. The men will host Humboldt State, the No. 1 team in the nation on February 20. The Falcon women, who have won 26 straight at home, battle Western Washington February 22. |
