The Shoreline Community College Basketball held off a charging Edmonds CC team at the end of the game and the SCC Squad won a hard earned 59-56 win over the Tritons.

SCC opened the game strong, pushing to a 22-9 lead in the first half, but EDCC played tough, cutting the margin down to 4 points at half-time as SCC led 26-22.

Shoreline controlled most of the 2nd half, hovering around an 8-10 point lead most of the period, but another late Edmonds push got the game within three points and the Tritons missed a late 3 pointer to tie the game with 6 seconds left and the Dolphins came away with a win.

Shoreline was led by Ashley Savusa 14 points and Bianca Benavides and Caitlin Roussopolos who added 11 points each.  Emily Wilbur had 11 rebounds for SCC before fouling out of the game.

SCC improved its record to 8-7 overall and 2-3 in the NWAACC Northern Region. Edmonds moved to 4-12 overall and 0-5 in the region.

Shoreline plays at Peninsula College in Port Angeles, WA on Wednesday night and returns home next Saturday to face Whatcom CC at 2:00pm in the SCC Gym.
