PORT ANGELES — Former Roughrider and Peninsula Pirate Millie Long led her 24th-ranked University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves to a 90-44 blowout of Seattle Pacific last night at the Royal Brougham Pavilion in Seattle.
Long scored 14 points, dished out 4 assists, and tallied 8 steals. She netted half her points with soft jumpers from the elbow and the other half on layups off turnovers.
The Seawolves, now 17-2 overall and 8-0 in GNAC conference play, travel to Montana for a big conference game against 20th-ranked Montana State Billings on Saturday at 2:15 p.m.
Pirate head coach Allison Crumb and assistant coach Gabi Fenumiai attended the game to support their former NWAC MVP.
