Congratulations to Dani Carlman for being voted Most Valuable Player and to Lauren Pernu for being voted Most Inspirational Player.

We would also like to congratulate Rachel Boulais and Dani Carlman for making this year's USCAA All-Athletic Team.

This weekend the Lady Wolves finished the season strong with two wins in the Hoops Classic. They played Northwest Indian College on Thursday and Salish Kootnai on Saturday night. And before Saturday night's game, we honored the graduating seniors on the team, thanking them for all their hard work and effort during their time here. We'd also like to take a moment to congratulate the All-Tournament players: Lauren Pernu, Nicolette Neel, Dani Carlman, Michelle Warner, and Brianna Moorer. 

Merry Christmas from all of us in the Walla Walla Athletics Department. Over break our basketball teams were busy. The men's team played the University of Idaho, Whitman College, and Pacific University before the year was out and they played two games at Simpson University right before classes started up again. The Lady Wolves played a tournament at Montana State University at the beginning of break and a pair of games against New Hope Christian College right as classes were starting back up. We hope your Holidays went well and can't wait to see you at the next Wolves home game on January 17 when the Men's team plays West Coast Baptist College. See you there!

While all the other students went home for break, the Wolves were busy. The men's team played 4 games over break and the women's team had one. Unfortunately neither team was able to come away with a victory, despite some close games. Nevertheless, we hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving and hope to see you at the men's home game this Saturday at 6 p.m.

The lady Wolves were unable to overcome the lead the Argos established and lost. Click here to view the game stats.

A strong defensive effort in the 2^nd half of Friday afternoons ball game, again proved as it had earlier in the season, against Columbia Bible College, to be the difference for the Walla Walla University Lady Wolves.

The Wolves held the Eagles of Northwest Indian College (NWIC) to just 12 second half points, allowing for only 30 shots to be taken. Strong defense only allowed the Eagles to make good on 16% of their field goals inside the three-point arch.  Junior Nicolette Neel, and freshman Lauren Pernu led the team with 4 steals a piece. The Wolves combined for 17 steals in total. 

The Lady Wolves won the battle of the boards combining for 60. Johanna Uribe, a senior, had a total of 14 rebounds, grabbing 10 of the teams 36 defensive rebounds.  Pernu grabbed a team high of 6 offensive boards.  In total, WWU was able to secure 24 second chance offensive rebounds. 

Three Wolves scored in double figures.  Freshman Rebekah Gaines and Uribe each led the team with 14 points apiece.  Sophomore Abbey Manzano scored 12 points.

In hitting 50% of her 8 three-pointers, Uribe not only helped with the teams percentage of 33, but she also used this to help her in putting together a double-double (14 points 14 rebounds).

Only two players from NWIC scored in double figures as the Lady Wolves were victorious 72-42.

Owls Sweep Wolves as Walla Walla University Women’s Basketball team makes progress.

The Women’s Basketball Team had their Home Opener against Eastern Oregon University and put up a valiant effort and ended up losing to a team that is ranked 7^th in the Country.

The Lady Wolves of Walla Walla University started the year claiming a victory in their first contest on the road against Northwest Indian College.  Senior and captain, Dani Carlman, did what’s expected from an upper classmen shooting 50% from inside the arch, scoring a team high of 16 points.  Carlman also dished out 5 assist, while on the other end of the floor she proved strong defensively with 3 steals.

Freshman Lauren Pernu learned quickly and scored 13 points while making good on 6 of 10 shots from the field.  Pernu led the team with 6 steals, tied for a team best of 10 rebounds, four of which came from the offensive end of the floor.  Sophomore Giselle Schmitz equaled her rebound total on both ends of the floor also finishing with 10 rebounds. 

In their first road victory, the Lady Wolves pulled down 44 rebounds in total, 16 offensive.  While struggling with their first shots on the road, WWU hit 33% of their shots and won 70-42.

Women’s Basketball opens their season on the road and come up with two loses to start their season against Northwest Christian University and New Hope Christian College.
