LA GRANDE — The Eastern Oregon University women’s basketball team remained in top form on Tuesday, Jan. 25, taking down the College of Idaho 62-47 at home.

The win is the seventh straight for the Mountaineers, improving the team’s record to 15-7 overall and 12-2 in conference play. Junior Sailor Liefke led the way for Eastern with 19 points.

The Mountaineers set the tone early on, taking an 18-8 advantage after the first quarter. Eastern piled on a 15-11 advantage in the second quarter to build a 33-19 lead by halftime. The Mountaineers played stifling defense early on, holding the Yotes to 9-28 from the field in the first half. The Mountaineers shot 15-33 in the first two quarters to build up a sizable lead.

The College of Idaho held close in the second half, but the first-half advantage was ultimately too much to overcome. The Mountaineers outscored the Yotes 29-28 in the second half en route to the 15-point win.

The Mountaineers dominated the paint throughout the game, out rebounding the Yotes 41-30. Haley Robinett led all players with 13 rebounds.
