Big Night for Ryan Spady in Loss to Corban


SALEM, Ore. – The Warrior men's basketball team closed out the 2015 portion of the season with a bang, scoring 60 second-half points en route to a 94-79 triumph over Walla Walla University on New Year's Eve. For Corban (8-5, 3-3 CCC) at the turn of the calendar year, it finishes its first six games of Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) play at .500.
 
Junior guard Caleb Herzberg (Beaverton, Ore.) had a night to remember, scoring the second-most points in his career and the most since his freshman campaign. While draining six three-pointers and shooting 9-of-12 from the field overall, Herzberg finished with 25 points for the Warriors. Fellow Beaverton native, sophomore guard AJ Monterossi (Beaverton, Ore.) recorded another spectacular night offensively, totaling 28 points on 11-of-15 shooting with seven assists. He also drained a pair from downtown as a part of Corban's 10 three-pointers on the night.
 
Walla Walla actually began the game very well, keeping pace with the Warriors early on, and if not for a Herzberg three from about 10 feet behind the three-point line at the buzzer of the first half, the Wolves would have taken the lead into halftime. But with that three-pointer, Corban led by one point, 34-33 at the intermission.
 
For the game, the Warriors shot 55.6% from the field, tying their season-best mark, and from downtown, Corban went 10-of-19, proving very efficient. Walla Walla also shot the ball very well, going 48.3% from the floor overall and 58.8% from beyond the arc.
 
For the Wolves (2-12, 0-6 CCC), Ryan Spady had himself a nice day with 21 points and 11 rebounds, while Ethan Osias and Andrew Nye totaled 24 points between the two.
