SEATTLE (AP) — Isiah Umipig and Deshaun Sunderhaus scored 19 points each as Seattle University raced away from NAIA Evergreen State College 100-59 on Saturday night.
The smaller Geoducks had stayed close for the first five minutes until Umipig hit a 3-pointer, stole the ball and made a three-point play in a 19-second span as Seattle U (2-1) broke away and never looked back. The Redhawks burst from a 6-6 tie to lead by 21, holding the Geoducks scoreless for 5:24.
Umipig and Sunderhaus each scored 13 in the first half. Sunderhaus’ early totals included three dunks.
