The NAIA 11th-ranked Westmont men’s basketball team improved to 17-1 with a 77-64 GSAC victory at William Jessup in Rocklin on Saturday.
“It’s nice to be able to get both long road trips out of the way, the Arizona trip and the Northern California trip. I’m looking forward to playing a few games at home,” said coach John Moore.
The Warriors now return to Murchison Gymnasium for seven of their next eight games, beginning Saturday against No. 2 The Master’s.
Westmont limited William Jessup to 33.9% shooting (25.9% 3-point range) for the game, including 26.9% from the field and 16.7% from behind the arc in the first half, when the visitors only conceded 21 points.
Those 21 points are the second fewest amount Westmont has conceded in any half in the past 61 games, behind only the 20 points they limited Antelope Valley to in the first half of their matchup earlier this season on Dec. 17.
Four Westmont players scored in double figures, led once again by Abaram Carrasco, who led all scorers with 20 points. It was the reigning GSAC Player of the Week’s third straight 20+ point game and fourth in his last five.
The other three Warriors were Hunter Sipe (13 points), Jared Brown (12 points), and Hulsebosch (11 points).
