 BALL BATTLE: EOU’s Anne Barnett fights for a loose ball against I-84 rival College of Idaho player Katie Strunk during the Mountaineers 47-43 loss. The Observer/PAUL HARDER Some big-time games fail to live up to the hype. That was the case
when the Eastern Oregon University women’s basketball met up with the
College of Idaho Friday at Quinn Coliseum.
Both teams entered with a 5-1 Cascade Collegiate Conference record,
but the end result — a 47-43 Coyotes’ win — didn’t resemble a great
game.
“We gave one away tonight,” Mountaineers head coach Anji Weissenfluh
said. “We count on our posts to do some scoring for us, and that didn’t
happen.
