VANCOUVER, Wash - Clark College fell short in a hard-fought contest against Peninsula College, suffering a 69-61 defeat in Vancouver. Despite a late push, Clark's shooting woes and inconsistent offensive execution ultimately led to their downfall. The Penguins could not find a rhythm on offense, shooting just 32.9% from the field and missing crucial opportunities at the free-throw line.

Clark's shooting struggles were compounded by a high turnover rate, as the team gave up 25 turnovers in the game. The Penguins' defense was solid at times, but they were unable to execute on offense, particularly in the fourth quarter when Peninsula pulled away.

Despite a strong start in the second half, Clark was unable to close the gap. Peninsula's defense held firm in the final minutes, forcing the Penguins into rushed shots and turnovers. A late sequence where Peninsula converted on free throws after Clark's missed attempts sealed the win for the home team.

Clark College will look to bounce back from this defeat and will focus on improving their shooting efficiency and ball security in the upcoming games. While the loss stings, the team showed heart and determination and will take away valuable lessons moving forward.
