Colorado College went wire-to-wire with Pacific University in Forest Grove, Ore. on Saturday night. The Tigers and Loggers went all the way to double-overtime, but Pacific barely outedged CC by a final score of 95-92.

Senior
Andie Will scored a season-high 15 points, junior

Meyer had a career night; not only did she record a career-high in points, she also logged her first career double-double. The Crystal Lake, Ill. native finished the night with two assists in a steal and played a season-high 32 minutes.
CC led most of the game, but Pacific utilized a strong fourth quarter to force OT and then again force a second OT after being down as many as six with 33 seconds left to play.
The Tigers shot 47.8 percent and held the Boxers to 44.3 percent from the floor. Between the second and third quarter, the Boxers shot only 28.9 percent.
But in the fourth quarter, they came back from being down 14 at the start of the fourth to force overtime. CC built up a lead as many as seven points in the first overtime period, but the Boxer crawled back again to eventually win the game 95-92.
CC had its three-game winning streak end and moved to 3-2 on the season. The Tigers will return to Reid Arena and play their home opener this Friday in the annual Colorado College Fall Classic, starting on Friday, Nov. 28 against College of Saint Benedict.
