EOU Beats Pesky Evergreen
LA GRANDE, Ore. - The Eastern Oregon University women managed to beat a pesky Evergreen State (4-13, 3-5 CCC) team without their "A" game. The Mounties used a late push to move past the Geoducks 65-58.
On a night when the Mounties could not seem to buy a perimeter basket (0-7 from 3), they were lucky to have the services of Senior forward Sheena Henderson. With the her teammates struggling from the outside Henderson put in work inside. The 6 footer scored 19 points on 6-11 shooting and a perfect 7-7 from the free throw line. She also pulled down a team high 7 rebounds.
Fellow seniors Laura Olsen and Tiffanie Ulmer both finished in double figures as well. Olsen managed 13 points while Ulmer pitched in 10.
With the win the 19th ranked Mountaineers improve to 12-1 overall and 6-0 in conference play. Eastern will host Northwest University tomorrow night. Tip off is set for 5:30.
