Rollin’ right along.

Sparked by a strong second-half performance Friday, the Whitman College women’s basketball team claimed its fourth-straight win and stayed in a first-place tie atop the Northwest Conference.

Led by a 12-point, 11-rebound performance by Coupeville’s Makana Stone, the Blues held off pesky Pacific Lutheran University 63-51 to kick off a two-day trip to Tacoma.

With the victory, Whitman improves to 8-1 in league play, 16-2 overall, and remains deadlocked with Pacific University (8-1, 14-4) atop the nine-team league.

Stone and Co. get right back at it Saturday, when they play an afternoon game at the University of Puget Sound (3-6, 9-9).

Friday’s rumble was a taut one, as the two teams battled through a tense first half.

Up 16-15 at the first break, Whitman used a couple of key second-quarter buckets from Stone to stretch the lead out to 30-26 at the half.

From there, a 20-11 surge in the third quarter put the Blues safely ahead, and they strolled in with the win.

Whitman stung PLU with balanced scoring, as four different players reached double digits on the night.

Outside sniper Kaelan Shamseldin paced the Blues with 14 points, while Kaylie McCracken (13), Stone (12), and Mady Burdett (11) joined the fun.

Coupeville’s progeny snared a game-high 11 boards and doled out a pair of assists in 34 minutes of action.

On the season Stone sits with 276 points, 141 rebounds, 27 assists, 20 steals, and 16 blocked shots, while shooting 114-216 from the floor and 45-58 at the line.

The former Wolf, a senior for the Blues, hit three career milestones Friday, recording her 1,200th point, 750th rebound and 150th assist.

With 1,203 points and counting, Stone is the sixth-highest scoring player in Whitman women’s basketball history, just 41 points away from moving to #5 all-time.

Down the stretch they come.

Playoff berths and postseason seeding are up in the air as the basketball teams of the North Sound Conference head into the final week-and-a-half of the regular season.

The Coupeville girls are sitting strong in third place, with the top five making the playoffs, and the Wolves control their own destiny.

They travel to Shoreline Tuesday to face league leader King’s, then close with home games against Granite Falls Friday and South Whidbey Feb. 4.

The CHS boys currently hold the #5 seed.

They also have three games left to play, hosting South Whidbey Tuesday and Granite Friday, before travelling to Sultan Feb. 4 for the regular-season finale.

North Sound Conference girls basketball:

School League Overall

Stone, Blues back in the penthouse

Hello first-place, my old friend.

Riding high after a big win Saturday night, the Whitman College women’s basketball team is back on top of the Northwest Conference standings.

The Blues did their part, bashing visiting Linfield College 82-63 in Walla Walla behind a game-high 22 points from Coupeville grad Makana Stone.

But they also got a little help, as Pacific Lutheran University shocked Pacific University 61-58 in Tacoma, handing the Boxers their first league loss.

Now, Whitman, 7-1 in conference action, 15-2 overall, moves back into a tie with Pacific (7-1, 13-4) atop the nine-team league, two games up on George Fox (5-3, 13-4) with eight to play.

The Blues, whose only league loss was a one-point thriller against Pacific, gets their rematch with the Boxers February 15 in Walla Walla.

Until then, Whitman will hit the road, playing its next four games away from the Sherwood Athletic Center.

Next weekend, the Blues travel to Tacoma to play PLU and the University of Puget Sound.

Saturday, Whitman led from start to finish, busting out to an 8-0 lead and never looking back.

A 25-20 advantage after one quarter stretched out to a 42-31 lead at the half, then a 61-44 bulge headed into the final frame.

Stone paced the Blues, dropping in 14 of her 22 in the first half, while three of her teammates also finished with double-digits scoring.

Kaylie McCracken pumped in 16, Mady Burdett banked home 14, and Shaira Young tickled the twines for 11.

Along with her point explosion, Stone added eight rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a blocked shot in 30 minutes of floor time.

On the season, the former Wolf star has 264 points, 130 rebounds, 25 assists, 20 steals, and 16 blocks, while shooting 109-202 (53.9%) from the floor and 43-55 (78.1%) from the free throw line.

Saturday’s game was the 100th of Stone’s collegiate career.
