LA GRANDE, Ore. - The Eastern Oregon University (17-8, 12-5 CCC) volleyball team celebrated Halloween by taking care of Evergreen State (1-20, 1-15 CCC) in straight sets (25-18, 25-19 , 25-12).

In the first set Eastern jumped out to a 7-1 start but the Geoducks would not go away. TESC closed the gap and got within one at 18-17 before the Mounties went on their second 7-1 run in the game, closing it out 25-18.

The second game was a carbon copy of the first. EOU got out to a fast start and led 10-5, Evergreen battled back to make it a game at 12-8. The two teams traded blows before the Mounties closed the door 25-19. Through the first two games All-America Grace Deboodt had already tallied 9 Kills and 10 Digs for the Mountaineers. The junior finished the night with 15 Kills, 11 Digs and 2 Blocks.

The third and final game was all EOU. After being knotted up at 4 a piece the Mounties pulled away. Eastern held leads of 11-5 and 18-8 before ending the match

Freshman Jessica Lea had another well rounded game with 8 Kills, 18 Assists and 6 Digs. Fellow freshman Emily Sampson added 14 Assists. Senior Sareena Simpson totaled 13 Digs.
