January 6, 2007 Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s had four players in double figures on their way to a win over Central Washington University, 74-58, in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play Saturday night at the SMU Pavilion. The Saints got out to an early lead only to see Central go up by one with just under eight minutes left in the first half. That was the only time the Wildcats would see themselves on top. Saint Martin’s quickly regained their lead and built up a 14 point advantage going into the break. SMU maintained their lead the entire second half. Central pulled within eight with 13:13 left on the clock but that was as close as they would get. The Saints pulled away going up by as much as 18 in the half. The Saints shot 42.9 percent (27-63) from the field to the Wildcats’ 35.8 percent (19-53). SMU also out shot the Wildcats from the three point line shooting 50 percent (6-12) while Central shot only 15.8 percent (3-19). Amber Harmon led the Saints with 21 points while Jessi Reome added 15. Jamey Gelhar posted 11 points and seven rebounds. Whitney Golob had 10 points and pulled down 10 boards. The Wildcats were led by Laura Wright who had 21 points and eight rebounds.
