February 17, 2007 Lacey, WA – Jake Linton posted a career high 36 points for Saint Martin’s but it wasn’t enough as the Saints fell to Seattle Pacific University 99-91 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play Saturday night at the SMU Pavilion. SPU hit three three-pointers to start off the game. With the score 22-18 and 11:57 on the clock the Falcons went on a 14-4 run to open up a 14 point lead. The Saints battled back to pull within five but Dustin Bremerman hit a three in the final seconds to put SPU up by eight going into halftime. The Falcons added to their lead in the second half going up by as much as 19. The Saints fought their way back and cut the lead in half with a minute to go. Brendan Campbell hit two layups and Linton hit a three to put the Saints within six but that was as close as they would get as Seattle Pacific took the win. Along with Linton, Brendan Campbell and Trevor Dunstan also scored in double figures on the night. Campbell posted 13 points and eight rebounds while Dunstan added 12 and seven rebounds. The Falcons had six players in double figures on the night including Bremerman who had 33. SPU was able to capitalize on their free throws going 21-26 on the night. The Saints only shot 14 from the line, sinking 10. The Saints host their final home game of the season next Thursday as they face Seattle University.
