SEATTLE -- Megan Hoisington scored 16 points on Thursday night, and Caitlyn Rohrbach added 10 points off the bench, and Seattle Pacific used an 18-4 first-half scoring surge to take charge on the way to a 68-52 victory against Montana State Billings in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference women's basketball game.
The 18th-ranked Falcons (13-2, 4-0 GNAC) won their sixth straight game, setting up a showdown at Western Washington on Saturday night at 7 to determine which of them will be the last unbeaten team in conference play.
Senior forward Hoisington (Bremerton, Wash./Central Kitsap HS) also pulled down four rebounds, had three steals and blocked one shot.
Senior forward Sydney Benson (Snohomish, Wash./Snohomish HS) added nine points and three rebounds for the Falcons.
After scoring the first seven points of the game, Seattle Pacific found itself up just 11-9 near the midpoint of the first half. That's when the Falcons scored 18 of the next 22 points, capped by an 11-0 run that made it 29-13 with 1:32 left before halftime.
It was 29-17 at the intermission, and the Yellowjackets (9-6, 2-2 GNAC) never got the margin below 10 the rest of the night.
Kalli Stanhope led Montana State Billings with 11 points, and Mandy Jacobs added 10.
Prior to Saturday's SPU-Western game in Bellingham, a team of Falcons alumni will square off against their counterparts from the Vikings at 5 p.m.
