Men’s Basketball wins North Region title

Our Men’s Basketball team won the North region title! This is only the fourth time in our basketball program’s history.

After a 68-65 loss to Bellevue College on January 25, the Shoreline Dolphins found themselves at 2-3 in the North Region. The Phins trailed 1st place Peninsula by two games and sat in 5th place in the North Region standings. Nine games later Shoreline is celebrating their first North Region championship since 2010 and only the fourth Region championship in the history of Shoreline Men’s Basketball.

The Phins began their turnaround with two big road wins to close out the first half of North Region play. Shoreline won at Olympic by a score of 68-54 then traveled to Everett and came away with a tough 83-75 victory. Next up was a trip to Port Angeles to take on Peninsula and try to pull within one game of the Pirates. Playing in a high school gym due to inclement weather at Peninsula’s campus, the Phins pulled out an ugly 58-51 road win. The Phins would go on to win their next five games completing an eight-game win streak that took them from 5th to 1st. Shoreline dropped their final game of North Region play to Everett but still secured the North Region title and the #1 seed heading into the NWAC Basketball Championships.

Shoreline will participate in the NWAC tourney beginning on Thurs., March 9 at Everett Community College. The draw for the NWAC Basketball Championship Tournament will take place on Sun., March 5 at 3 p.m. You can watch it live on the NWAC YouTube Channel.

They have begun to focus more on outreach by educating and developing relationships with groups including veterans, prisoners, artists, philosophers, academics and contemplative practitioners.  In doing so, they aim to deeply influence their community’s evolution.

Passing of Emeritus Faculty Member John James

John James, an emeritus faculty, died peacefully in his home on Monday, February 27, 2017 after a long battle with cancer. John came to the college in 1975 in the capacity of Technical Services and Reference Librarian. He served the college for thirty plus years—working with students, faculty, staff, administration, and the community to help the college meet its complex and challenging mission.

His focus and energy both inside the Library and with the college in general was always on improving on the work of teaching and learning for our students. His patience and vision for a more inclusive and dynamic college learning environment were noticeable across the campus in many projects and initiatives that helped employees, students, and community members connect their learning across disciplines and programs.

Memorial Service: March 31, 2017; 3:00 PM; St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church – Seattle, WA
