#21 Rocky Women’s Basketball Defeats Eastern Oregon 68-50 in Idaho

CALDWELL, Idaho.- A lock-down fourth quarter from the Battlin' Bears secured their first win of the season against Eastern Oregon on Friday.  

How it Happened
With the first quarter going back-and-forth to begin, a made three-pointer from Gracee Lekvold capped off a 9-3 run that saw the Battlin' Bears jump to a 14-10 lead with three minutes to go in the quarter. After the Mountaineers bounced back to take a short lead, Brenna Linse wrapped up the first quarter with an and-one layup, completing the three-point play to give Rocky a four-point lead going into the second quarter. 

Isabelle Heggem would knock in a pair of layups to lead the Battlin' Bears on a 6-0 run midway through the second quarter, extending their lead to ten points. Eastern Oregon had their response, following Rocky's run with an 8-0 lead of their own inside the final minute of the half. Paige Wasson halted the run with a three-pointer to conclude the halftime with the Battlin' Bears leading 32-27. 

The Mountaineers came out of the halftime break firing, rallying for an 8-2 run to grab a one-point lead with seven minutes to go in the third quarter. Rocky had the response on both ends, combining for a 17-7 run for the remainder of the quarter, shooting 5-9 from the field and holding the Mountaineers to just 3-10 shooting to take a nine-point lead into the fourth quarter. 

The Battlin' Bears would not relinquish their lead for the remainder of the game. They finished strong to conclude the game, holding Eastern Oregon scoreless over the final four minutes and tallying a 15-2 run over the final eight minutes to secure their first 2024-25 season victory. 

Notable Statistics
Isabelle Heggem was the game's leading scorer, totaling 16 points on six-of-eight shooting and seven rebounds. Gracee Lekvold added 13 points, eight rebounds, and two steals, while Sydney Dethman tallied 12 points and four rebounds. Paige Wasson was also in double figures, finishing with 10 points and five rebounds. 

The Battlin' Bears shot 45.3% from the field and 46.2% from three-point range (6-13). Rocky totaled 15 second-chance points to Eastern Oregon's two while forcing 15 Mountaineer turnovers. 

Kelsie Siegner led Eastern Oregon with a 12-point, ten-rebound double-double.
