NEWBERG, Ore. -- The George Fox Men's basketball team dominated from start to finish on Wednesday night, storming past Portland Bible on their way to a commanding victory, 114-51.         

How It Happened
The Bruins exploded offensively from the opening whistle, going on a 12 point run to immediately take control of the game. Austin Clark, Nick Greenwood and James Moore all found the net early, and Fox went 18-37 from the field in the half. Though the Arrows were able to put some points on the board in response, the Bruins were quick to crush any of their momentum, sealing the first half with a powerful alley-oop dunk by Samuel Stewart IV on a pass from Charlie Powers that propelled them into halftime with a convincing lead, 49-26.
 
Fox maintained this intensity into the second half and wasted no time adding three more scores in the opening minute, pushing their lead to 28 points. Senior Kade Sorenson then showcased his long range skills with back-to-back three-pointers, while Joshua Jones had a standout performance, notching 17 points in just 11 minutes — marking a career-high for him at Fox. Jett Briceno and Noah Marte further fueled the offensive onslaught, going on a 7-point run in the 12th minute of the half alone. 

By the end of the game the Bruins had four players in double digits, running away to a 63 point win, 114-51.
