The Phins traveled to Green River to take on the Gators on Wednesday, December 2. Shoreline came into their second game of the season with an 0-1 record after losing to Highline 52-62 November 25. The Phins shook off their rust quickly and jumped to a 16-8 lead at the end of the 1st quarter.

Shoreline controlled the second half and came away with a 66-61 victory to improve their record on the season to 1-1. Shoreline turned in a great defensive performance to get the road win. The Phins held Green River to just 32% shooting and won the rebounding battle 48-45. The Phins shot 40% from the field and 70% from the free throw line to seal the victory.
