KENNEWICK — The Clark College women’s basketball team guaranteed their stay at the NWAACC Tournament an extra day as the Penguins knocked off Bellevue 58-56 in the first round on Saturday.

Chawncy McClenan led the Penguins (15-9) with 15 points and nine rebounds, and Renee Tzeo and Tashia DeLaCruz each scored 11 points.

Bellevue (19-8) led by as much as 10 points.

“They listened,” coach Nancy Boone said of her players. “They played awesome defense and played together as a team. They really want to win here.”

Clark faces Clackamas at 6 p.m. today in the quarterfinals. Clackamas (22-4) defeated Columbia Basin 95-68 on Saturday. Skyview grad Dayle Powell scored 14 points, and Prairie grad McKenzie Meyer scored 15 for Clackamas, which was ranked third in the final NWAACC coaches poll.

A Clark victory would put the Penguins in an 8 p.m. semifinal on Monday. A loss would move the Penguins into a 2 p.m. consolation game on Monday.
