Saturday it was center Mitzi Finn and guard Angela Hewlett combining for 44 points as the Cougars halted Umpqua 86-73. Finn’s 23 points and 11 rebounds were both game highs. This victory enabled Clackamas to move straight through the Southern Division’s mini tournament and on to the NWAACC Tournament, where hey will match up against Skagit Valley, who is entering the tour nament as the number two seed from the Northern Division. Clackamas jumped out to a 52-34 halftime lead and never looked back, as they got the bet ter of the Timberwomen for the third time this season. “We kept a 20 point lead through pretty much the whole game,’’ stated Clackamas Coach Phil Garver. “We really took it to Umpqua Saturday night.” Hewlett had a generous 10 assists (a game high) to go with her 21 points.

Hewlett’s 34 points were a season high and her 13 assists were a game high as she left Linn- Benton in the dust.

Schlegelmilch placed herself se cond on the scoring list for the Cougars by netting nine points, and Leslie Hughes and Cami White each added eight points to the Cougar cause.
