Marcelus Kemp added 10 points and reserve Denis Ikovlev had eight for the Wolf Pack (7-1), who are off to their best start since 1978 and have won 30 in a row while holding their opponent to 60 or fewer points.
Robbie Will had 17 points and eight rebounds for Seattle Pacific (5-1). Mike Bushmaker scored all 13 of his points in the second half and Tony Binetti added 12 for the Falcons, who are ranked fifth nationally in NCAA Division II.
