Box Score AZUSA, Calif. – The Northwest Nazarene women's basketball team just keep on winning.

The Nighthawks knocked off Azusa Pacific 77-63 on Friday at a crossover tournament in California.

Avery Albrecht was one of four players in double figures, scoring a game-high 16 points.

"Azusa is definitely one of the best teams in the region," NNU coach Steve Steele said. "They are talented, deep and so long. I was really proud of how we competed against them.

"I don't think we will play too many teams that are that much more athletic than we are, so I was happy with how we were still able to execute."
