Seattle U 77, UC Davis 53
SEATTLE-(SU Media Relations) A combination of solid defense and career-best offensive efforts from juniors Isiah Umipig (Federal Way, Wash.) and Shore Adenekan (London, England) led to Seattle University’s 77-53 victory over UC Davis Monday night in men’s collegiate basketball action at KeyArena at Seattle Center.
Umipig shot 8-of-16 from the field, including 6-of-11 from behind the three-point line, and 8-of-9 from the free throw line to finish with 30 points, the first Redhawk player to score at least 30 points in a single game since Aaron Broussard scored 33 at Longwood Feb. 11, 2012. Adenekan went 6-of-7 from the field on his way to a 16-point effort, plus he pulled down five rebounds and blocked five shots, another single-game milestone that had not been achieved by a Seattle U player since Eric Wallace blocked five Pepperdine shots Feb. 16, 2012.
