Housing and Development Newsletter The 33 points from Ajay is good, but I am way more excited about his five offensive rebounds and 13 total rebounds that he had, said Boucher. That is what we needed from him all year. We know he is a talented scorer, as he has proven over and over. Tonight, with Cade Roth limited to 21 minutes because of foul trouble, Ajay battled in there and gobbled up a lot of rebounds.
Tyler Austin also had a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Boucher praised the play of Hunter Sipe. Hunter had one of his better games of the year. He had eight rebounds, five assists and only one turnover with 14 points. He went five of eight from the field. He helped us on both ends and made a lot of big plays. He found Jared for a lot of 3-pointers. I thought Hunter did a really good job and I am excited for him to build on that tomorrow, said Boucher.

Singh made 13-16 shots and grabbed 10 rebounds for a double-double. Gyse Hulsebosch scored 20 points on 7-9 shooting, 6-7 from behind the three-point arc. Jared Brown and Noah Fernando each scored 16 points and Cade Roth had 14 points on a perfect 6-6 shooting, including a pair of three-pointers.
“We knew it was going to be a shootout going in, and for the most part our guys worked hard to get each other shots instead of looking for their own shots,” said coach Landon Boucher.
The Warriors conclude their regular season with another pair of games against Hope International in Fullerton on Friday and Saturday.

Westmont used some red-hot shooting to give Landon Boucher his the first college coaching win on Wednesday.
The Warriors shot 64 percent from the floor (38 of 59) and knocked down 15 three-pointers en route to a 117-103 nonconference men s basketball win over University of Saint Katherine in the second game of their back-to-back series at Murchison Gym.
The 117 points is the fifth most scored by a Westmont team in program history.

“I think in all three of these games (Cal State Northridge, Concordia and Pacific), we haven’t shot well from the three-point line because we’re playing against bigger competition that is pushing us around,” Boucher said. “Often times that wears on you because instead of being able to gather your feet and shoot balanced, you get sped up a little more and pushed around. I think in all three games we’ve shot it well below what we can do.”
Facing that early five-point deficit, the Tigers went on an 8-0 run to take the lead for good, 14-11. Westmont stayed within single digits until the final 1:23 of the first half. Pacific beat the buzzer with a triple to take a 41-28 advantage into halftime.
