GRESHAM, Ore. - Portland CC ended their 2025-26 campaign with a satisfying win at Mt.Hood CC yesterday, 50-45.
It has been a season full of challenges for the Panther women, as coach Chelsea Stocks guided the team through the ups and downs that are typical during a long year. Wins have been hard to come by, but the final contest of the year sent the ladies into the offseason with a good feeling.
Defense ruled the day versus the Saints, as PCC held their foe to 25 percent shooting for the game. The Panthers did a nice job of fencing off the lane, which forced MHCC into shooting over the top. Those shots did not fall as the Saints made just 3 of 26 from behind the arc.
The 3rd quarter was the stretch of play that made the difference, as Portland turned a tie game at the half (22-22) into a 10 point lead heading into the final period. The Panthers held on with a few scores under pressure that secured the victory.
Udoka Amadi showed her improvement over the latter half of the season, and again dominated the interior with 17 points and 18 rebounds. Kamakila Waiwaiole added 11 points and five steals.
