Mountain Tourney, they then opened their league play with a disaster against Northwest Chris- tian. The team met Sheldon Jackson College in the midst of their eight-game tear and set several school records. When the final buzzer had sounded that night, Multnomah had tallied 126 points. Dan McRenolds had ripped 21 re- bounds out of the opponents hands and Dave Steward had dished out 15 assists. All were unprecedented in Multnomah basketball history. The team scored in triple figures four times the second half of the season, winding up with a solid second place in the final league standings and a 8-2 record. In the annual National Little College Athletic Associa- tion's Northwest Regional Tournament held in Multno- mah's gym again this year, the team won their first game over Eugene Bible but stumbled the next night, losing to Concordia by a narrow two point margin. They had to settle for third place finish, defeating Trinity Western College in the tourney's consola- tion contest for their last game of the season. The team was cheered on this year by the following: head cheerleader and senior Joan Farwell, senior Kandee McKracken, junior Cindy Lauer, and freshmen Christie Beattie, Laurel Haley, and Teri Thomas. The team finished with an overall won-loss record of 18-9. Dave Steward, Jon West and Willie Newman were selected for the Northwest all-conference team.
