SEATTLE, Wash. - The Cal Poly Pomona Broncos secured a hard-fought 70-60 victory over the Seattle Pacific Falcons, maintaining control throughout the game despite a late charge from their opponents.
Leading the way for the Broncos were Sam Hunter with 13 points and Jaden Winfield with 10. The two guards sparked the offense, contributing key buckets as the team worked to stay ahead. The Broncos' scoring was well-balanced, with Demarreya Lewis-Cooper, Caleb Nelson, Kevin Simeth, Shyheim Parm, Zach Broadous, Miles Lewis, and Jordan Carpenter all adding to the point total.
The Broncos came out strong, quickly establishing an early 8-2 lead in the first five minutes.
