After Lewis and Clark put up 20 first quarter points, the Boxer defense would allow only 36 more in three quarters to win their first Northwest Conference contest Saturday night.

Lewis and Clark came out hot to begin the game, hitting three straight three pointers and finishing the quarter shooting 50 percent building a 20-10 lead over the Boxers.
 
In the second quarter the Boxers would open on an 8-2 run cutting the deficit to just four thanks to Charli Elliott who went 2-2 from the field and recorded two steals.
 
The Boxers defense would allow only eight second quarter points, and cut the deficit to one heading into halftime, trailing 28-27.
 
Pacific would then open the second-half on a 10-2 run, taking their first lead of the game and making it as large as seven. The Pioneers would counter with a 7-0 run of their own, and the game would be tied at 37 midway through the third quarter.
 
The rest of the quarter would be back and forth and the Boxers would take a 43-42 lead into the fourth quarter.
 
Once again the Boxers would come out firing in the fourth, opening with a 7-0 run keyed by an Ashley Jones three, leading 50-42 with just over seven minutes left in the game.
 
With just over two minutes remaining, Lewis and Clark would cut the deficit down to two, trailing 54-52. But the Boxers Alexa Hinkley would hit a clutch three to extend the lead back to five.
 
Courtney Carolan would then lay in the dagger and extend the lead to six with one minute remaining. The Boxers would hit some free throws to close out the game and take down the Pioneers 62-51 for their first conference win.
 
Elliott would lead the Boxers with 14 points and eight rebounds while also adding three steals.
 
Carolan would finish with 13 points six rebounds and Megan Huynh would be the final Boxer to finish in double figures as she finished with 12 points on 3-3 shooting from the field 5-6 from the free throw line.
 
Boxers are back January 25 at 6:00 P.M. taking on Whitworth at home.
