Everett 79, Peninsula 71

EVERETT — The Trojans broke up a tie for third place with the NWAACC victory Wednesday night.

Everett is alone in third place at 3-1 while the Pirates fell to a tie for fourth at 2-2 with Skagit Valley.

Peninsula is 7-7 overall while Everett is 9-7.

“This was a poor defensive effort for the Pirates,” Peninsula coach Alison Crumb said.

“We took a huge step forward last Saturday and potentially one step backwards if we don’t find ways to be more consistent and play better defense on the road.”

Leading the Pirates was Taylor Larson with 22 points while Jasmine Yarde also chipped in 30 points with 12 rebounds and six assists.

Jesse Ellis had 20 points as well.

“Everett played a great game and we look forward to a rematch at home in the next month or so,” Crumb said.

Peninsula next will play at Olympic (0-4, 0-14) on Saturday at 2 p.m.
