Men's Basketball Falls to No. 14 Lewis-Clark

College Place, Wash. – Walla Walla men's basketball squared off against No. 14 Lewis-Clark State College on Wednesday evening for their second matchup of the season. The Warriors dished out 20 assists and knocked down 12 triples to knock off the Wolves, 93-66.

The Warriors (9-0) came out of the gates hot, scoring the game's first 12 points. The Wolves (2-4) finally got on the scoreboard after Dylan Browning converted a layup. The Warriors continued their offensive attack, extending their lead to 29-6 midway through the opening half.

When the 7-minute media timeout hit, the Warriors held their largest lead 39-10. The Warriors used a 6-for-10 3-point shooting while holding the Wolves to 22-percent shooting to fuel the run.

The Wolves battled back, going on a 9-0 run to cut the deficit to 20 before Warriors guard Josiah Westbrook stopped the run with a corner triple. The Wolves continued clawing back into the game, cutting into the deficit more. Caleb Golden knocked in his second triple off a well-designed inbounds play to cut the lead to 42-31, the smallest margin the Wolves had seen since the opening stages of the game.

A Khalil Stevenson layup just before the buzzer gave Warriors a 50-36 lead heading into halftime. The Wolves were able to regroup and outscored the Warriors 25-11 in the last six-plus minutes of the half to avoid falling into a big first-half deficit.

The Warriors started the second half just like the first, limiting the Wolves from scoring while precision offense extended their lead to 27, scoring the first 13 points of the half. At the 14-minute mark, the Wolves finally got on the scoreboard after Dylan Browning went 1-for-2 from the free-throw line.

The Warriors maintained their 20-plus point lead for the rest of the half and remained perfect on their 2019-20 season.

Caleb Golden, who recorded 19 points on 3-for-5 from the 3-point line, led Walla Walla.

Damiek Mitchell, who recorded 19 points, seven assists, and five rebounds, led the Warriors.

The Wolves will look ahead to their conference season, as they host No. 24 Corban Warriors to open their Cascade Collegiate Conference season. Tipoff is scheduled for December 6 at 1 p.m. on Windemuth Court.
