Ionescu, who shared the career mark with BYU’s Kyle Collinsworth, finished with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists for the Ducks (10-1) in her 82nd game. The junior All-America guard broke the record with her 10th rebound during the fourth quarter. Acting coach Mark Camp- bell subbed Ionescu and Hebard out with five minutes to play. He filled in for Oregon coach Kelly Graves, who is serving a two-game NCAA suspension for allowing violations by an assistant strength coach during practice two seasons ago. Hebard, who came in ranked fifth nationally in shooting accuracy at 69.0 percent, was 7-for-7 in the first half. Satou Sabally added 19 points and eight rebounds for the Ducks, and Erin Boley had 11 points. Haley Jones led the Fal- cons (4-7) with eight points and Riley Snyder had seven. Air Force stayed close mid- way through the second quar- ter before Oregon closed out the half on a 17-4 run to lead 37-22. Ionescu already was well on her way to making history with eight points, seven rebounds and nine assists. Photos by Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Ian Hunt brings down a rebound for Astoria.

The Fishermen trailed just 12-8 after the first eight minutes, but Newport’s shooters soon took over, helping the Cubs build a 47-23 lead through three quarters. Justin Plechaty, a 6-foot-3 senior, scored 17 points to lead Newport. Fred Hidalgo added 12 and Matt Beaudry scored 11 for the Cubs, 6-2 overall. Isaac Brockman scored eight points to lead Astoria, which faces an equally diffi- cult challenge Friday against Madras in a consolation round game. Marist Catholic defeated Madras 78-73 in another Thursday first round game. Elma tops Astoria girls in rematch, 47-30 SEASIDE — This year’s Seaside Hol- iday Classic features a girls’ bracket filled with potential state tournament teams, from both sides of the Columbia River. In Thursday’s tournament opener — a 10 a.m. tip-off between Elma and Astoria — the Eagles improved their record to 8-0 with a 47-30 win over the Lady Fishermen. The game was a rematch of last year’s championship game in the Seaside tourna- ment, also won by Elma. After building a 13-12 lead after one quarter in Thursday’s game, the Eagles went on a 26-8 run over the next two quar- ters to win the rematch. Six-foot junior forward Quin Mikel scored 12 points, and teammates Kali Rambo and Jalyn Sackrider (also both juniors) added 11 apiece for Elma, ranked seventh out of 65 teams at the Washing- ton 1A level. Halle Helmersen scored nine points and Julia Norris added seven for Astoria, which had 38 turnovers. The Fishermen will play Newport in a consolation game Friday at 9:30 a.m. Seaside boys open tourney with win over Montesano The Seaside boys capped Thursday’s action in the annual Seaside Holiday Clas- sic basketball tournament with a late 78-52 win over Montesano. The Bulldogs hung close for a while, trailing 14-12, but the Gulls left the ‘Dogs in the dust, as three 3-pointers from Beau Johnson in the first quarter (and a fourth from Brayden Johnson) helped Seaside to Kelsey Fausett, center, drives toward the basket for Astoria. a 17-12 lead. The Gulls opened the second period with scores from Payton Westerholm, Chase Januik and Duncan Thompson for an eventual 30-12 advantage, and a 42-23 halftime lead. Westerholm led the Gulls with a game- high 20 points, followed by Januik (15) and Beau Johnson (13). Seaside will play Corbett in a Friday semifinal (8:45 p.m.), with the winner to play either Newport or Marist in Saturday’s championship. Seaside girls pull away, defeat Crook County The Seaside girls opened their own bas- ketball tournament against winless Crook County in a late Thursday matchup. And the Cowgirls are still winless (0-5), as the Lady Gulls pulled away in the second quarter for an easy 44-20 win. Emy Kiser scored 10 points and Lilli Taylor added eight for Seaside, which led just 4-2 after one quarter. But it was 19-7 by halftime, as the Gulls picked up second quarter 3-pointers from Katie Zagata and Tristyn McFadden. From there, the Gulls did what they do best — force turnovers and dominate the boards — and finished the game with an 18-2 run. “One shouldn’t disparage victories, so I shall bite my tongue,” said Seaside coach Mike Hawes. “However, should the same mental preparation appear (Friday) night, victory probably won’t be an option. “We did a nice job of spreading the scoring and mental mistakes,” he said. “Almost everybody contributed. But Crook County was susceptible to pressure and therefore had even more turnovers than us, fortunately.” Player of the game honors, he added, “I probably give to Katie Zapata, who hit a couple timely threes and played solid throughout. On the bright side we did make our free throws (13-for-16), which we’ve been practicing. Now if we’d quit practicing throwing the ball away and missing shots …” Seaside advances to the semifinal round, and will play Cottage Grove Fri- day at 7 p.m. The winner will play either Elma or Marist in Saturday’s champion- ship game. Knappa boys, Lady Loggers drop road games DAYTON — It was a tough day to be a Knappa Logger. In a first-round boys game of Dayton’s holiday tournament, Knappa came up short against the host team, as the Pirates scored a 70-50 win over the Loggers. Trailing 53-36 entering the final quar- ter, Knappa fought back to within 56-42, but Dayton closed the contest on a 14-8 run. Meanwhile, the Knappa girls were on the road for a nonleague game against Riverdale, which posted a 73-36 victory over the Lady Loggers. The Knappa boys continue play in the Dayton tournament Friday.
