Parker Applegate added 11 points and five rebounds, and Derek Fairley scored 14 points with three rebounds and two assists.

Jake Lifgren scored 18 points with five rebounds and seven assists, and Tyce Paulsen added 21 points, three rebounds and three assists.

Gannon’s recent scoring output and Point Loma Nazarene’s ability to generate production from multiple perimeter players make the contest a notable early test for both programs.
