Seawolves double up Beavers, 82-40

ANCHORAGE – Taylor Rohde scored 18 points and fellow senior Lonnie Ridgeway grabbed 12 rebounds Saturday as the 21st-ranked Alaska Anchorage men's basketball team rolled to an 82-40 victory over Minot State in the final game of the AT&T Jamboree at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex.

The Seawolves (4-2) also got 13 points from Colton Lauwers and 12 points apiece from fellow sophomore guards Travis Thompson and Kyle Fossman as they extended their winning streak to four.

The Beavers (1-9) were led by nine points and six rebounds from starting forward Josh Johnson, but the visitors from North Dakota were held to 31.6 percent shooting from the field, including 2 of 16 from long range.

Meanwhile, the Seawolves were hot from three-point land, sinking 16 of 27 (.593) to equal the 8th-most treys made in program history. Fossman, an all-tourney selection, was 4 for 4 from deep in the first half, while Thompson connected on 4 of 8. Thompson also dished a career-high nine assists to earn AT&T Player of the Game honors.

Ridgeway controlled the boards for UAA, equaling his career-high of a dozen at Western Washington last season, and Rohde took home the event's Most Outstanding Player award for the second straight year. A 6-9 center, Rohde shot 9 of 13 from the field in Saturday's win, along with eight rebounds and three steals.

UAA led 10-0 after five minutes and pushed its lead to 29-8 on a Fossman three-pointer with 8:12 on the clock. The Seawolves were never threatened as they built a 44-22 rebounding advantage and forced the Beavers into 23 turnovers.

The Seawolves have now won 12 straight games in the Jamboree, which celebrated its 17th edition this weekend.

UAA returns to action on Saturday, Dec. 10, when it hosts longtime rival Alaska Fairbanks in both teams' Great Northwest Athletic Conference opener. That game tips at 7:30 p.m. at the WFSC.
