Bryan Berg and Eris Windler each scored 15 points to lead the Clark College men’s basketball team to a 85-63 win over Mt. Hood in Gresham, Ore.

Five players scored in double figures as Clark improved to 11-3 overall and 2-0 in the Northwest Athletic Conference South Division.

Clark has now won two straight after dropping two of its previous three games.

“One of the keys is that we’re rebounding a lot better,” coach Alex Kirk said.

The Penguins outrebounded Mt. Hood 44-36 and had a 24-7 advantage in points off turnovers.

Clark travels to face Southwest Oregon on Saturday before returning home Wednesday to face Portland Community College.
