Shorthanded Vikings capture win

By Tim Foster on December 13th, 2007

Returning to the Stott Center for the first time in over two weeks, the Vikings took to the court against Cal Poly without their starting point guard, junior Jeremiah Dominguez, Wednesday night.

Despite the absence of a vital cog in Dominguez, who leads Portland State in scoring, assists, and three pointers, the Vikings toughed out a 74-66 victory over the Mustangs.

Dominguez was ruled academically ineligible late Wednesday afternoon following the release of Fall term grades. With Dominguez out of the lineup, the starting point guard duties were handed to junior Mickey Polis.

Cal-Poly (4-5) pressured Polis and the Vikings baseline to baseline for most of the first half, forcing 11 turnovers and keeping Portland State (7-4) from establishing any offensive continuity.

Despite the unimpressive outing, the basketball gods seemed to be on PSU’s side, as the Vikings came away with a one-point win against Lewis and Clark, which plays in the Division III Northwest Division.

Tomorrow’s men’s basketball game moved to Rose Garden

By David Holley on December 4th, 2007

The players on the Portland State men’s basketball team get a chance to show off their skills at the Rose Garden Arena tomorrow night. Fortunately for them, they won’t be playing the Trail Blazers.

The Vikings’ game against the Lewis and Clark Pioneers is moving to the Rose Garden after the Stott Center main gym was flooded last week when a renegade softball hit a fire sprinkler, causing the water system to release.
