Scott Helpenstell, a freshman out of Port Angeles High School, chipped in eight points and three blocked shots.

Cox pulled down eight rebounds and Eding had four steals.

The Pirates led 49-48 at halftime and maintained a narrow lead through most of the second half.

Turnovers in the final five minutes proved the difference.
