VANCOUVER, Wash. - The Clark College men's basketball team faced a tough 89-70 loss at home against Portland on Wednesday. Despite their best efforts, the Penguins couldn't overcome a second-half surge from the visitors.

Clark started the game strong, maintaining a competitive pace in the first half and scoring 37 points. However, the second half saw Portland pull away, outscoring Clark by 17 points and sealing their win.

Clark's standout performers included Terrell Moorer Jr., who led the team with 16 points and 6 rebounds, and Anthony Sprauer, who contributed an efficient 19 points and 5 rebounds. Theo McMillan added 13 points and 6 assists, playing a crucial role in keeping the Penguins within reach during key stretches.
