— Corban University head men's basketball coach, Steve Masten, announced on Wednesday that the Warriors will make their first-ever appearance on the Pac-12 Network in a battle against NCAA Division 1 opponent, Oregon State University, on Nov. 18 in Corvallis, Ore., at 7:00 p.m.  

"I'm grateful for the chance to play Oregon State for the second year in a row," commented Masten.  "It was one of the highlights of our season last year, and my players are excited about playing a Pac-12 school at the historic Gill Coliseum."

Last season, the Warriors gave the Beavers all they could handle, leading 25-24 with just over five minutes remaining in the first half. After trailing by single digits at halftime, Corban went on to lose the exhibition, 57-77.

In addition to Oregon State, the 2014-15 slate features nine non-conference games and 18 Cascade College Conference (CCC) contests. The Warriors will play their home-opener against New Hope Christian College on Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

Corban returns seven players from last season, including its top-four scorers. Senior guard Jordan Carter (Salem, Ore.) led the team's offensive attack with 17.3 points per game, while sophomore forward Cyrus Ward (Gig Harbor, Wash.) (12 ppg), sophomore guard Caleb Herzberg (Beaverton, Ore.) (11.8 ppg), and sophomore guard Toby Roth (Silverton, Ore.) (10.5 ppg) also averaged double figures.
