Isaac Williams
LA GRANDE, Ore. - The Eastern Oregon University men's basketball team knocked off the Walla Walla University Wolves 84-55 inside Quinn Coliseum one night after beating Northwest University some 335 miles away in Kirkland, Washington.
EOU (10-5, 3-4 CCC) shook off fatigue to dominate the Wolves (1-15) in their last non-conference game of the season.
Senior wing Neil Fryer paced the Mounties with 18 points on 6-9 shooting, including 3-4 from behind the 3 point line in just 20 minutes of action. Joining Fryer in double figures was junior Dan Stafford who came off the bench to score 11 points on 5-7 shooting and senior Paul Carollo scored 10 points and pulled down a game-high 12 boards.
Walla Walla was led by senior Jonny Long's 17 points in 28 minutes of action.
The Mountaineers will take a couple of days off before playing three league games in four days starting Friday night when they host Corban College followed by dates with Concordia on Saturday and Cascade College on Monday.
All three games are set to start at 7:30pm. For more information, log onto www.eou.edu/athletics and click on the Mountie Gameday link.
