VANCOUVER, Wash. - It's five on the trot for Portland CC women's basketball after taking down Clark College 71-52 on the road yesterday. Iris Cubit poured in 31 points to lead the Panthers.

Cubit was a force all game, scoring from inside and mid-range on the way to a 14-16 shooting performance. The host Penguins had no answers for her or the Panther team, particularly in the 4th quarter.

Clark managed to lead 11-7 after the 1st quarter, and were looking to prevent PCC from claiming their 5th straight win with a strong home performance.

However, Portland exploded for 23 points in the 2nd period and took a 30-27 lead into halftime. 

The teams then battled evenly over a tense 3rd quarter, before PCC took control in the final period. The Panthers took command thanks to a 27-13 scoring advantage, and finished the game with a 53 percent shooting effort.

In addition to Cubit's heroics, Tynesha Parnell added nine points and eight rebounds. India Gultry led all players with 10 rebounds, while adding four assists.

The Panthers continue to climb the NWAC Southern Region standings, and now sit in third place at 5-2.
