After holding the NAIA's twelfth-highest scoring team to 22 points in the first half, Westmont Men's Basketball's defense had trouble keeping the Cougars of #5 Azusa Pacific out of the net in the second half of Saturday night's Golden State Athletic Conference game. The Cougars (23-3, 14-2 GSAC) outscored the Warriors (18-7, 10-6) by a score of 53-23 in the second half to secure the 75-46 victory. On the offensive end, Westmont struggled to get the ball inside to Evan Haines and Blake Bender. Collectively the duo took just nine shots on the night.

Azusa Pacific had five players in double figures including Caleb Burgess (17), Reggie Owens (16), Robert Sandoval (15), Marshall Johnson (15), and Danny Nugent (10).
