McMurtrey (11) — reached double-digits in digs, and Pilon had 22 assists. The two wins set up what will be one of the biggest matches of the season on the national level when No. 7 Corban — the only team to defeat EOU this fall — comes to town Friday. The Warriors (12-3 overall, 9-0 CCC) currently lead the conference, while EOU (19-1, 9-1) is in second. “We need to come out ready to set the tone against Corban next weekend,” Tay- lor said. “That’s going to be a good game.” The matchup begins at 5 p.m. Friday.

I was proud of the kids the way they played hard to the finish.” La Grande received a minor scare when Robinson was knocked out of the game twice in the second half. “I think he’ll be fine,” McIlmoil said after the game.

A 9-2 run in the first set put the Mountaineers up 16-9, and a subsequent 6-0 spurt made it 22-12. A kill by Hailee Ackerman and a block by Ackerman and Taylor ended the set. Madison Pilon capped a 9-1 run in the second set with an ace that put Eastern 33rd ahead 17-9, and an 8-0 run ended the set moments later on another Ackerman kill. Eastern took a little longer and to break away in the third, but another 9-2 run put the Mountaineers ahead 18-11, and Sade Williams ended the match with a kill. “We have a lot of room to improve. I don’t think this weekend was our best weekend of play,” Taylor said, pointing specifically to the team’s attack as an area to get better. “For sure our hitting percentage. Hitting wise we were making errors we don’t normally make in games. Things we can con- trol, we need to control.” One area, though, that was consistent throughout the weekend — as it has been all season — was the defense. With Taylor lead- ing the way both nights, EOU had eight team blocks Friday and seven Saturday. The team also had 117 digs in the two matches, which helped keep both Warner Pacific’s and Multnomah’s kill percentage down. Kiley McMurtrey (30) and Aspen Christiansen (24) led the team in digs over the week- end. “Our defense is the backbone right now, block- ing wise, but also the floor defense,” McLean-Morehead said. “I think that Aspen and Ki are doing a great job back there of momentum, of keep- ing the ball in pay, of getting everybody to buy in, (and) being on the same page. They’re really doing their jobs and over and above their jobs.” Christiansen pointed to the amount of court time together for her and McMur- trey — and, by extension, the team — as why the back line has been solid. “It helps that this is Kiley’s and my third year playing next to each other. Over the years we’ve gotten better at it, and we’re finally hitting our peak,” she said. uries. The junior added that - while the team has room to half grow, the players are “still playing steady and we’re still playing strong. We’re getting rtion better every game.” turn- Megan Bunn and Bre- anna Shaffer each added four kills for EOU against egon Multnomah. McMurtrey had 19 digs and three aces. Pilon added 15 assists, Christian- sen had 10 digs, and both Taylor Tibbetts and Acker- man had three blocks. On Friday, Bunn had 10 kills and Cambree Scott added eight to lead the Mountaineers’ sweep of Warner Pacific. EOU put the first set away against the Knights with an 11-3 run, ending it on a kill by Shaffer, but had to work Continued from Page 6A HEALTH NOTIFICATION! Are You Hard of Hearing?
