After a very good 3-0
week that began with an overtime 74-71 win at Western Baptist and
ended with a 71-54 rout of #24 Oregon Tech at home, the Mountaineers
have found themselves all alone atop the Cascade Collegiate Conference
standings.
Eastern must now hit
the road for three straight; two over the weekend in the Puget Sound
area, then next Tuesday at Concordia.
The trifecta of wins
last week extended the Mountaineer's current win streak to six games,
including their last five on the road and 8 of their last 10 away from
Quinn Coliseum. Eastern Oregon has won 10 of their last 11 in
the friendly confines.
In fact, the
Mountaineer's last loss came at the hands (and feet) of one of this
weekend's opponents... Northwest College.
After a weekend loss
to Evergreen, the Eagles rebounded Tuesday night with a win over
Warner Pacific. The win over Warner Pacific inched Northwest to
one-half game behind Eastern Oregon, and tied with the Mountaineers in
win column with seven victories.
The 77 points EOU gave
up in the December loss to Northwest has been the second most scored
on EOU all season; next to the 78 points to UC-Santa Cruz in the
Mountaineer's 93-78 comeback victory at Menlo.
During this six-game
win streak, Eastern has held their opponents to just 38% shooting and
57 point per game. Eastern, on the other hand, has scored at a
67 point per game clip.
Saturday night, the
Mountaineer will wrap up the weekend jaunt to the greater Seattle
area, with a match up with The Evergreen State College.
EOU currently holds a
nine-game win streak over the Geoducks, with their last loss dating
back to the 1998-99 season. In fact, the Geoducks have defeated
Eastern just once in 11 meetings.
Historical Note
History was made
Saturday night, when 5-4 point guard Tricia Haddock, secured her name
in Mountaineer school history, when she supplanted head coach Anji
Weissenfluh as the all-time assist maker. Haddock found Candice
Davis under the hoop on an inbounds play for her record breaking 428th
career assist.
Haddock currently owns
the all-time three-point field goals made and attempted records.
13-2 Not Good
Enough?
The 13-2 Mountaineer's
are off to their best start since the 14-1 beginnings of the 2000-01
club. For its effort, Eastern Oregon was finally recognized by
the NAIA Division II raters by garnering 21 points, but fell short of
the NAIA's top-25 list.
