SAN DIMAS -Although San Diego Christian College barely missed landing a berth to the GSAC Tournament, senior Greg Chew made the best of his final appearance for the Hawks.

Chew, a senior, registered his 13th double-double of the season, pouring home a game-best 27 points and 10 rebounds, as the ballclub continued a remarkable second-half run on the road by dropping Life Pacific University, 108-88, on Saturday (Feb. 18).

The Hawks surpassed 100 points for the first time in nearly a decade, when they downed West Coast Baptist College, 112-101, on Dec. 14, 2013.

Chew’s effort came off a triple-double performance against Vanguard earlier in the week to end his collegiate career in style.

Josh O’Campo rained down three-pointers all night, scoring 25 points in 25 minutes. Senior Cameron Dashiell, given the freedom to fire away, did not disappoint, scoring 20 points of his own.

Ausage Siamu (15 points) and Jonah Felix (14 points) rounded out the double-digit scoring for San Diego Christian (7-12 overall, 6-12 GSAC), winning four of their last six GSAC road games.

In a long day on the diamond, a Hawks defender has her eye on the ball, but it rolls under her for an error.
