PENINSULA COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Pirates’ Long scores 20 in win; Men win two straight

PUYALLUP — Peninsula College’s Millie Long had her first 20-point college game, scoring nearly half of the Pirates’ points in a 43-38 win over Wenatchee Valley at the Pierce College Tournament on Sunday.

Long, a Port Angeles High School graduate, shot 8-for-10 from the field.

In fact, most of Peninsula’s points came from Olympic Peninsula products. Sequim’s Hope Glasser had eight points and Port Angeles’ Madison Cooke had six.

It was the second time this season the Pirates have beaten Wenatchee Valley.
