ROSEBURG, Ore. - THe Panthers made the tough trip to Umpqua CC today, and will come home with a 77-63 loss.

The first quarter set the tone for the game, as Umpqua jumped out to a 27-9 lead after the first 10 minutes. The Panthers improved with each period after that, but a 49-21 halftime deficit was too much to overcome.

JaLay Harris-Burns led Portland with 20 points, with Ashley Aughterson adding 13 points and five rebounds.
