Whitworth's three-point assassin continued his assault from behind the arc, as sophomore guard David Riley posted a career-high 37 points in a rout of cross-state rival Pacific Lutheran University 88-60. Riley was 8-for-12 from downtown in the game. Junior forward Nate Montgomery and senior guard Tim Sellereit had 14 and 13 for the Pirates, respectively, while junior guard Ross Nakamura dropped eight assists.
A peek at the upcoming schedule for the team:
Whitman (6-9 overall, 2-4 Northwest Conference)
Lewis & Clark (10-4, 4-1)
George Fox (5-10, 1-5)
Whitworth dropped out of the D3hoops.com poll from the #24 slot last week following losses to Linfield and Puget Sound.
An encouraging sign going forward for Whitworth is their muscle and both ends of the court. Statistical buffs could marvel at the Pirates' defensive prowess, as they have held opponents to less than 64 points per game as a team. On the flip side, Whitworth can fill it up in a hurry too, leading the conference at nearly 50 percent shooting from the field and a plus-15.9 point per game scoring margin. Whitworth leads nearly every major statistical category, and is in the top tier of teams in all others. The key will be putting it together on both ends of the floor each night.
