Gregory Echenique and Grant Gibbs added 13 points apiece, and Ethan Wragge had 12 - hitting four 3-pointers - for the Bluejays (2-0). Echenique matched his career high with 16 rebounds.
The Blazers, who returned three starters from a 15-16 team, carried the play in the first half and led 37-33 at the break.
