Quiggle Drops 28 in Victory Over Bruins

NEWBERG, Ore. -- A strong Logger first half proved too much for George Fox, pulling away to a dominant 77-56 victory to begin the second half of Northwest Conference play. 

How it Happened
Tonight was a Broadway special: The Hailey Quiggle show. 

Quiggle got the game by knocking down a three, giving the Loggers the first bucket of the game. The Bruins made it even early, pulling ahead 7-11 with 4:30 left in the first. After several Loggers made their free throws to pull it close, Quiggle drilled two threes and drove it in for two, giving the Loggers a 19-12 lead. Autumn Hill also got a bucket, contributing to the lead. A final step back buzzer-beater by Quiggle turned the quarter over with the Loggers leading 22-12. 

Puget Sound didn't take their foot off the gas pedal, piling a total of 18 straight points on the Bruins. A Carmen Cruz made three and a tough and-one capped off the Logger run, extending their lead to 28-12. Claire Thompson found her first points of the evening, and five straight points by Paige Oh gave the Loggers a formidable 35-26 lead heading into the break.

Quiggle continued her stellar shooting to start the third, drilling two straight threes to add to her ever-growing point total. Two more Quiggle free throws continued the individual 8-0 scoring run, with Hill extending the Logger lead back to 14 on a great pass from Grace Lee. For the rest of the quarter, Puget Sound was on cruise control. Mele Sake made back-to-back buckets, Cruz got to the glass, and Natalia Sefair-Lopez hit two free throws to cap off the period. 

Cruz drilled a three to put the Loggers up 63-43 to start the fourth quarter, later extending their lead with a tough bucket in the paint. Quiggle got back in the action after getting some rest, drilling a three and knocking in a floater to put the Loggers up 71-47 with four minutes to go. From there, everyone on the team got some quality minutes in the game, wrapping up a 77-56 Loggers victory. 

Top Performers
Quiggle was lights-out, putting up 28 points, 4 rebounds, all while shooting 10-15 from the field and 6-9 from three. Cruz also played well, going 17 and 6 with a team-high 3 assists.

Coach's Thoughts
"Hailey was on fire tonight!" said Logger head coach Casey Kushiyama. "Most points scored by any player in our league this season. So impressive!"

What Happens Next 
The Loggers travel to Portland, Ore. to take on the Lewis & Clark River Otters on Saturday, January 31st. Tipoff is scheduled for 3:00 pm.
