PORTLAND, Ore. – In a last-minute scheduled game to make up for the canceled meeting with Santa Clara, the Portland Pilots dealt the Bushnell University Beacons an 84-39 defeat in non-conference men's basketball action Tuesday night at the Chiles Center.

All 11 Pilots (14-12) that saw the court scored led by 11 points and 14 rebounds by freshman forward Chika Nduka. It is the third double-double of the season for Nduka, who established a new career-high in rebounds and finished 7-for-8 from the free throw line. Kristian Sjolund reached double figures for the third straight game with 11 points and Tyler Roberson added 11 points and eight rebounds.

The Pilots dominated the interior with a 60-30 rebounding margin and 36-18 edge in points in the paint. Portland held the Beacons to just 21 percent shooting from the field overall.

Stevie Schlabach was the lone Bushnell player in double figures with 15 points.

Portland started slowly and the Beacons grabbed an early 7-6 lead on a Schlabach three-pointer. The Pilots created separation with an 18-0 run midway through the first half and never looked back. Portland took a 44-18 lead into halftime and the margin would steadily grow throughout the second half.

The Pilots will now return focus to a pair of big home West Coast Conference games as the San Diego Toreros visit on Thursday at 7 p.m. followed by the Pepperdine Waves on Saturday at 5 p.m. Tickets for both games are available for just $5 by visiting PortlandPilots.com. The team will conclude the regular season with road games at Pacific and Santa Clara the following week.
