A jumper by Weston Wood (Spokane, Wash./Riverside) at the 17:35 mark in the first half gave the Loggers (17-4, 10-3 NWC) a two-point lead and Whitman (4-17, 0-13 NWC) never caught up as the Loggers went crazy in the first half, taking a 59-38 lead into halftime.

The Loggers were led by 18 points apiece from Jason Foster (Tacoma, Wash./Foss), Antwan Williams (Portland, Ore./Madison) and Steffond Brown (Seattle, Wash./Lower Columbia CC). Robert Krauel (Phoenix, Ariz./North Canyon) and Kevin Wright (Longview, Wash./Mark Morris) came off the bench to add 10 points each in the victory. Puget Sound got 54 points from its bench, compared with just seven for Whitman.
Whitman was led by 18 points from Garth Brandal. Graham Brewer added 16 points while Max Adcox chipped in 14. NWC scoring leader Chris Faidley was held to just eight points in the loss.
The Loggers will look to push their lead in the standings to two game on Saturday when they travel to second-place Whitworth. Tip-off with the Pirates is set for 8:00 p.m. in Spokane.
