Pioneer Women Win 70-55 at Whitworth

The Pioneer women's basketball team earned a decisive 70-55 (box score) road victory over the Whitworth Pirates Friday night in Spokane. Kim Kittell had her first career double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds.

Kim Kittell (sophomore, Tillamook, Ore.) had four three-pointers over the first twelve minutes of the game to spark L&C (6-6 overall, 2-1 NWC) to a quick 23-5 lead. The Pioneers would hold that 18 point lead into half time after holding the host Pirates to 21% shooting in the first half (5-24).

Whitworth managed to close within 58-50 on a three-pointer by Alida Bower with 4:41 to play, but Kittell answered with a three-pointer of her own to spark Lewis & Clark back to a double-digit lead.

The Pioneers, who never trailed in the game, earned their first victory at Whitworth in over a decade.

Kittell finished 8 of 10 from the floor and 5 of 6 from three-point range while adding team highs of 11 rebounds, four assists and three steals for L&C. Allison Farr (senior, Lakeport, Calif.)  scored 17 points and Crystal Castle (senior, Rocklin, Calif.) chipped in 10 points and eight boards.

With the victory, the Pioneers improve to 6-6 (2-1 NWC). Whitworth earns their first NWC loss of the season, falling to 2-1, 7-4 overall.

The Pioneers close out the weekend with a 4pm game at Whitman Saturday afternoon in Walla Walla. Live play-by-play of the game will be available on sportsjuice.com.
