Henderson, Ulmer Lead Mounties to 82-73 Road Win
CALDWELL, Idaho - Sheena Henderson and Tiffanie Ulmer combined for 54 points and 24 rebounds, as No. 23 ranked Eastern Oregon completed a season sweep of The College of Idaho, stopping the Lady Yotes 82-73 in the J.A. Albertson Activities Center.
After a see-saw first 30 minutes, the Mountaineers (23-4, 16-3 CCC) grabbed a 62-54 lead with 9:32 left on a Breana Olsen jump shot. However, The C of I fought back, cutting the margin to 62-61 on a Whitney Clark three with 7:29 on the clock. EOU would then hold the Yotes without a field goal for a four minute stretch, using three Henderson buckets to build the margin to 72-62 and cruised to the win.
Henderson had a season-high 31 points on 12-of-16 shooting from the floor, while Ulmer had 23 points and 15 rebounds, going 15-for-17 from the free throw line. Eastern had double the foul shot attempts than the Lady Yotes (16-10, 13-6), making 37-of-41 for the night.
The C of I was led by Clark, who scored 22 points, with ShaNae Horner netting 17 points off the bench. However, rebounding was key, as EOU held a commanding 50-26 edge on the glass.
The Yotes round out the regular season with a 5:30 p.m. match-up against Northwest Christian on Friday night.
