Box Score LA GRANDE, Ore. – No. 10 LC State Women's Basketball dropped its Cascade Conference opener on Friday in La Grande against (RV) Eastern Oregon. The Mountaineers used a strong defensive presence to limit the Warriors to 52 points in the 63-52 loss.
 
"An extremely physical game where we struggled to score the ball," coach Caelyn Orlandi said. "I was extremely proud of Kendall (Wallace), Camden (Barger), Ella (Nelson), Ellee (Brockman) and Lindsey (Wilson) for their defensive efforts tonight. They cut the game to four points in the second half, and they did an excellent job for us today. We have to be ready to compete from the tip tomorrow against a very talented College of Idaho team."
 
The loss has the LC State record at 6-3 overall and 0-1 in CCC play.
