The Lutes (3-4, 0-2 NWC) trailed by nine after surrendering 23 points in the first quarter and were down by 20 when both teams headed to the locker room for halftime.  PLU outscored the Boxers by a pair in the third quarter, but managed only seven points in the final 10 minutes.      
 
Kasidy Javernick had a career night with 12 points and eight rebounds to the lead the squad in both categories.  Maddie Plevyak came off the bench to score 11 points and Ava Edmonds chipped in 10.  Pleyvak also was active defensively with three of the Lutes' seven steals.
