ANCHORAGE – Senior guard Jack Macdonald scored a career-high 25 points and junior center Oggie Pantovic posted career highs of 24 points and 14 rebounds Tuesday to propel the Alaska Anchorage men's basketball team to a 105-86 victory over Alaska Fairbanks at the Alaska Airlines Center.

The Seawolves (12-8, 5-4 Great Northwest Athletic Conference) also got a career-best seven assists apiece from guards Amari Hale and Tobin Karlberg as they beat their northern rivals for the 17th straight time at home and the 26th time in the last 28 overall meetings.

The Nanooks (6-11, 5-4) were led by 32 points on 14-of-24 shooting, eight assists and five steals from junior guard Shadeed Shabazz, but the visitors were outscored 57-27 from the three-point line and 24-9 at the free-throw line.

"Our offensive execution was terrific tonight, and we did a nice job of preventing their second and third offensive options from getting rolling," said UAA head coach Rusty Osborne, whose team cracked the century mark for the second game in a row against UAF, following a 100-86 home win last February. "Jack and our entire rotation made great decisions with our ball movement, and our shot-makers did a great job at burying the open looks. We'll try to keep this momentum going despite a very quick turnaround with Thursday's game in Billings."

Coming off a pair of road losses, the Seawolves jumped on the Nanooks early, leading 12-4 after a pair of free throws from Hale, who also tied his career high with nine points, while committing just one turnover. UAF answered with a 17-6 run, however, and took a 24-23 lead when Shabazz connected on a three-pointer at the 8:27 mark.

The Seawolves responded by making their next four shots to take the lead for good, taking a 34-25 edge on Karlberg's three-pointer and earning a 42-34 halftime advantage.

UAF stayed close at 59-50 before Pantovic hit a layup and Macdonald nailed back-to-back treys to make it 67-50 with 12:20 left, and the lead stayed between 12 and 19 points the rest of the way.

The team's most experienced player, Macdonald topped his previous high of 24 points in last year's home win over UAF by making 7 of 10 threes and 9 of 13 shots overall. The Melbourne native also dished six assists without a turnover in 34 minutes.

Meanwhile, Pantovic recorded his team-high fourth double-double by making 5 of 8 shots from the floor – including his only three-point try – and sinking 13 of 14 free throws. The Serb's 13 free throws tied for the 19th-most in program history and were the most since Suki Wiggs's record-tying 17 charities, Nov. 11, 2016 at Chaminade.

Karlberg shot 5 of 10 from the field, 4 of 6 on threes and 5 of 5 at the charity stripe as his 19 points were the second-most in his career, while senior forward Niko Bevens had 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3FG) and senior guard Tyrus Hosley tallied 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3FG), five rebounds, two assists and no turnovers.

UAA shot 19 of 35 (.543) from long range to tie for the 5th-most makes in program history and the 3rd-most against a fellow NCAA Div. II program.

The Seawolves now lead the all-time series 83-23 over the Nanooks, including a 48-5 advantage in Anchorage.

UAA concludes the first round of GNAC play Thursday at 5:30 p.m. AST when it faces Montana State Billings at Alterowitz Gymnasium in Billings, with live video and stats at gnac.tv.
