P.C. women split in Vancouver

Peninsula College’s women basketball squad went 1-1 at the Igloo Invitational at Clark College in Vancouver, Wash., last week.

Peninsula opened with a 71-56 loss at Blue Mountain Community College. Freshman Megan Smith scored 24 points while fellow frosh Callie Monfrey added 11 points.

“We were a little jittery and could not quite hang on,” P.C. coach Ali Crumb said.

In the second game, the Pirates rebounded with a 58-50 win against Clark College alumni players, making up a 10-point deficit in the second half. Smith had 19 points, Monfrey had 17 points and Shawna Thein, another freshman, added 18 points and five assists.
