The Bulldogs continued their ability to control the boards and shoot high percentage shots in the blowout, shooting at 60% clip in the second while out-rebounding the Pirates 19-9. The defensive pressure by Bellevue was also on full throttle forcing 11 Peninsula turnovers in the second half as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pirates would hang with the &#8216;dogs for the first eight minutes of the game before a three pointer by Sawyer Cottrell broke a 13-13 tie with 11:04 remaining in the first half. The Bulldogs went on a 16-0 run from that point and led 32-12 on a three pointer from Isaiah White before Peninsula would get on the board again. White&#8217;s dunk with 17 seconds remaining put Bellevue up 34-17, setting the stage for the second half blowout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>White was seven-for-11 from the field with six rebounds, three steals, and two blocked shots in one of the most solid all-around performances by a Bulldog this season. Will Woodward continued his dominance down under with six-for-seven shooting and six rebounds for 13 points. Darek Usitalo was strong off the bench with 10 points as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bulldogs continue their roll as the hottest team in the NWAC at 16-2 with a 16 game winning streak.
