The Pirates came out strong in the second half, tying up the game within the first two minutes of the second half after two lay-ups, one by Orrell and one by McDaniel.

"At halftime we talked about how we needed to 'D' up better and realized we needed to step it up if we wanted to keep our streak alive," Corigliano said.

The lead switched back and forth several times with Whitworth never up more than a few points before an 11-2 run put Whitworth ahead 62-54.

Six unanswered points by Lewis & Clark put the score at 59-62 with 29 seconds left on the clock, but the Pirates sunk all six free throws in the final seconds to win the game 68-59.

"Tonight we did really well," McDaniel said. "The freshmen are stepping up. We're a young team, but we're really deep when it comes to desire and intensity."

Whitworth travels to La Grande, Ore., to battle Albertson College (Idaho) on Dec. 8 and Eastern Oregon University on Dec. 9 in the Eastern Oregon University Holiday Classic.
