Salt Lake City, UT - 2023 has started off great for the Westminster Griffins, on Friday night in Utah it was the three point shot that was falling early for Westminster as the Griffins ended the night making eight three-point shots as
Trey Farrer led the way in scoring with 16 points on the night as Westminster defeated Colorado Christian 80-45.
It was a first half to remember for the Westminster Griffins as they knocked down four threes, put down a few dunks and played one nearly perfect half of basketball as they led 44-20 at halftime.
