Peninsula group supports Millie Long vs. UW
SEATTLE — A solid contingent of North Olympic Peninsula basketball fans traveled to the University of Washington Wednesday night to watch former Peninsula College Pirate and Port Angeles High School star Millie Long and her Fresno State Bulldogs women’s basketball team battle the Huskies.
Long, a Fresno State (3-2) senior who leads her team in scoring at 10.6 points per game, steals with 3.6 and assists (2.8), played two years at Peninsula, in both soccer and basketball, before playing at Cal Poly Humboldt, University of Alaska Anchorage and now Fresno State.
She scored four points, with four steals, four rebounds and a pair of assists in the Bulldogs’ 61-43 loss to the No. 25 Huskies.
Long also greeted Port Angeles and Sequim fifth and sixth grade girls players who attended the game and played a scrimmage at halftime.
