ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Taylor Rohde and Casey Robinson scored 14 points apiece as Alaska Anchorage held off a strong challenge from Northwest Nazarene to earn a 10-point victory at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex.

The Seawolves also got 13 points and seven rebounds from guard Brandon Walker, who became the 43rd player in GNAC history to reach the 1,000 point career level.

The Crusaders (8-9, 4-6) were led by a game-high 15 points from guard Drew Eisinger, plus 14 points on seven of 11 shooting from his brother Jamie Eisinger.

UAA, which has won 15 of 16 games, used 61 percent shooting (17 of 28) in the second half to win its third straight. The Seawolves, who are currently ranked 4th in the NCAA D.II West Region, also earned their first season sweep of the Crusaders since 2007-08.

UAA shot only 27 percent (7 of 26) in the first half but got a lift from a pair of reserves as freshman guard Travis Thompson nailed two three-pointers and sophomore center Liam Gibcus had four points, two rebounds and a steal to stake UAA to a 25-20 lead. Thompson finished with 10 points.

The Seawolves were unable to stretch their advantage any further in the early stages of the second half and saw the Crusaders take a 44-43 lead on Brian Barkdoll's layin at the 11:37 mark.

Casey Robinson knocked down one of his three three-pointers on the next possession before NNU's Darious Walker answered with a dunk, tying the game for the ninth and final time.

Rohde was responsible for the next five points, scoring on a putback, a free throw and a spin move in the lane to make it 51-46. The 6-9 junior shot six of 13 from the field and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds as he scored in double digits for the 14th straight game.

NNU sliced its deficit to 57-55 at the 4:52 mark but Brandon Walker responded with a step-back trey, and Casey Robinson delivered a clinching three-pointer on a feed from point guard Drew Robinson with just 70 seconds remaining, beating the shot clock from straightaway.

The Crusaders will now travel to Fairbanks for a Saturday evening match-up against the Nanooks.
