Caldwell, Idaho Nov. 28, 2008 * J.A. Albertson Center
CALDWELL, Idaho - Linfield was left still searching for its first win of the 2008-09 season following a 79-73 loss to Eastern Oregon during the first day of action at the Best Western Lady Yote Classic, hosted by the College of Idaho. Sarah Amina scored 15 points, Makenzie Blythe came off the bench to score 13 points and Kelsey Forrest added 11 points and five rebounds. Wildcats center Whitney Honn had a fine all-around game, scoring eight points while adding six rebounds, three steals and three assists. The Wildcats led by as many as nine points in the first half. Amina’s 3-pointer with 7:08 left in the period staked Linfield to a 28-19 lead. But the Mountaineers clawed their way back, tying the game at 36 on a 3-pointer by Brianna Smith with 15 seconds remaining before intermission. The ‘Cats held the lead again, but only briefly, to begin the second half. After gaining the lead back on Salena Leavitt’s jumper at the 17:50 mark, the Mountaineers held firm grip on the game the rest of the way. Turnovers were at least partially responsible for Linfield’s undoing. The Wildcats committed 25 turnovers to EOU’s 13. The Mountaineers converted 32 points off those miscues, eventually building leads as large as 17 points in the second half. Leavitt finished with a game-high 25 points and Ashlee Michelson added 20 for EOU, which improved to 3-1 for the season. Linfield dropped to 0-3.

GAMES 12-13 * NNU AND LC * DEC. 11-12, 2010 NEW START TIMES FOR 2010-11 A new doubleheader format featuring men’s and women’s teams alternating time slots in conference play headlines the release of the 2010-11 Cascade Collegiate Conference men’s and women’s basketball schedules, CCC commissioner Dave Haglund announced.

Men’s and women’s teams will flip their playing orders on a yearly basis.
