Box Score LA GRANDE – The top shooting team in the Cascade Conference got into rhythm early and the Southern Oregon University women were never able to interrupt it Friday night at Quinn Coliseum.

Eastern Oregon, the defending CCC champion, stopped the 17^th-ranked Raiders' win streak at eight games with a 102-78 win behind senior guard Brittney Newcomb's 30 points, 13 assists and eight rebounds.

The 24th-ranked Mountaineers (11-4 overall, 3-0 CCC) hit four of their first five 3-pointers to take a 27-14 lead eight minutes into the game. Their ninth 3, knocked down by Brittney Newcomb, made the score 63-42 at halftime. EOU only hit one more triple in the second half but finished 36-for-68 from the field.

An SOU opponent hadn't scored that many points since Northwest's 122 in the first round of the 2004 conference tournament. The Raiders dropped to 12-2 overall and 2-1 in the CCC.

Carly Meister (Elma, Wash./Elma) added 13 points, five rebounds and five assists, while Cambie Edwards (Burglington, Wash./Burlington-Edison) chipped in 12 points and Allison Gida (Ashland, Ore./Ashland) had 11.
