the field, and 9 for 9 from the free-throw line. Meghan Hughes added 11 points, and Nicole Bruce
chipped in 10 points.
C of I led 8-6 three minutes into the game when Eastern made an 8-0 run to take its largest lead
of the game, 14-8 with 12:48 remaining in the first half. EOU held the lead for the next three min-
utes until Bruce hit a jumper to give the Lady Yotes a 22-21 lead. The home team held the lead
into halftime, stretching the margin six points at one point. College of Idaho took a 38-33 lead into
the locker room after an acrobatic shot on the baseline by Nicole Gall.
Trailing 43-37 just into the second half, Eastern Oregon made another run to take the lead back,
44-43 with 15:27 remaining in regulation. It wouldn’t last long as C of I responded with a 10-0 run
to take its largest lead of the game, 55-46, with 8:22 left. The Lady Yotes held EOU without a field
goal for a six-minute stretch in the second half.
The Mountaineers roared back and capped a 10-0 run of their own with an Alyssa Garro three-
pointer. Eastern had its last lead, 56-55, with 5:28 left in the game. Owen ended a College of
Idaho 10-2 run with a pair of free throws at the 1:54 mark of the second half. The Lady Yotes led
