December 21, 2007 Monmouth, OR – Kassie Ludeman’s offensive rebound and put back was enough to give Saint Martin’s the 65-63 win over Humboldt State in the first game of the GNAC-CCAA Challenge Thursday at the Physical Education Building in Monmouth. Saint Martin 's led for most of the first half, but trailed 24-21 with 6:30 left before going on a 15-3 run that was capped off with a three by Jamey Gelhar giving the Saints their biggest lead of the half and a 35-27 advantage going into the break. Humboldt opened the second half with a 10-0 run to take the two point lead. The two teams would then trade the lead a total of nine times throughout the half. The Lumberjacks had the three point lead with one minute left to play when a layup by Dara Zack cut it to one. The Saints drove the lane and missed with four seconds left but Ludeman was able to pull down the board and bank the shot to put SMU on top by one. Humboldt State tried a three-quarter length pass on the inbounds play but it was intercepted and Ludeman was fouled. She hit one of two free throws for the final score. Ludeman led the Saints with 13 points and seven rebounds. Zack and Sade Smith added 11 points each. The Saints, who improved to 7-1, will take on Cal Poly Pomona today on the final day of the GNAC-CCAA Challenge.
