BOX SCORE

PORTLAND, Ore. - Eastern Oregon used strong interior play and timely shooting to get past Cascade 73-60 at the Thunderdome.

EOU (13-6, 8-4 CCC) steadily built a first half lead and enjoyed a 33-16 advantage with 3:08 to play, but Cascade ended the period on a 8 to 2 run to close the gap to 11 at the break.

The Thunderbirds (8-11, 1-11 CCC) were determined to make it a game in the second half and cut the Mountaineer lead to 7 on two occasions, the last coming at the 12:41 mark. Salena Leavitt came alive for EOU at that point and scored 11 of her game high 25 points in the last ten minutes to keep the hosts at bay.

Robin Swain again led Cascade, slashing for 20 points. Kristina Schumacher added 18 points and 4 assists.

In addition to Leavitt, Ashlee Michelson roamed the painted area and registered a double-double - 16 points and 12 rebounds.
