Cook Shines in WCA Win

Cook had 8 points (this will be a theme) and Senior Drew Melaragno added a three, giving Westminster an 11-6 lead at the end of the first quarter.

After that it was the Aaron Cook show. Cool delivered 21 points in the 3rd, including 5 threes and two breakaway dunks. To end the quarter, he hit back to back to back deep threes, including a contested fadeaway and time expired. He to 2 more to open up the 4th, giving him 10 three pointers on the day.

Westminster rode their big lead to a 70-38 win. The Cats will look to push their win streak to 15 games in their next game this Friday at Lutheran South
