The Panthers kept attacking, hitting back-to-back threes to take an 8 point lead early in the second quarter, their biggest deficit on the season.

The Titans responded with one of their most dominant runs of the season, outscoring Portland 31-4 the rest of the way to take a 43-24 lead into halftime.

To finish the game the Titans maintained their lead and never let the Panthers within 13 points, before eventually taking the game 76-61.

Lillee Duffin also finished with another double-double, scoring 14 points and grabbing 17 rebounds.

The Titans next matchup will be next Saturday at home against Mt. Hood.
