PORTLAND, Ore. – Tyler Robertson recorded his second career triple-double, Wyatt Lowell erupted for a career-high 20 points and Portland head coach Shantay Legans picked up his 100th career victory as the Pilots pulled away from Multnomah for a 100-79 victory Wednesday night at Chiles Center.

The Pilots (6-4) had five players score in double figures, led by Lowell who drilled six three-pointers and also dished out five assists.

Robertson, who tallied a 31-point, 11-rebound, 11-assist triple-double against LMU last season, finished Wednesday with 12 points, 10 rebounds and a career best 12 assists. It is just the third triple-double in program history with the third credited to current teammate Mike Meadows last season against Willamette.

Vasilije Vucinic tacked on 16 points and six rebounds off the bench for Portland and Juanse Gorosito helped out with 14 points from the bench.

The Portland offense was impressive from deep, knocking down 17 threes on 42 attempts.
