EDMONDS — It’s been a struggle so far this season for the Peninsula College men’s basketball squad, which has had some games that stayed close to the final minutes, but began the season going 0-8.

That losing streak was snapped Sunday as the men picked up their first win of the year at the Edmonds Triton Classic, beating Grays Harbor 79-58.

The men dominated all phases of the game. The Pirates hit 13 3-pointers and shot 48.3 percent for the game (49-for-60). Best of all, they outrebounded the Chokers 46-17, allowing just two offensive boards for the entire game.

Sequim’s Ethan Melnick gave the Pirates some momentum going into the half, hitting a 3-pointer in the final seconds to give Peninsula a 37-24 lead into the break.
