41.9% from deep.
Corban led the way in
nearly every statistical cate-
gory, but it was free throws
that made the diff erence.
Corban did not miss a shot
at the charity stripe but only
had fi ve attempts. EOU
managed to get to the line
for 14 times, making 10.
Corban came within one
point in the third, but by the
end the Mountaineers were
up 55-49. Corban pulled
even in the fourth, tying
the game at 59-all with 5:30
play in regulation. It was
back-and-forth the rest of
the game, and EOU slipped
away with the win.
The Mountaineers hold
an 8-2 record in the Cas-
cade Collegiate Conference.
Warriors sweep
Eastern Oregon men
Corban enjoyed a hot-
shooting weekend to pull
off the sweep of the Eastern
Oregon men. The War-
riors shot nearly 55% from
the fl oor, including nearly
74% from 3-point range,
on April 23 to win 95-88.
The Warriors followed that
up on April 24 by shooting
nearly 59% from the fl oor
in a 83-77 victory to fi nish
the sweep.
With the two losses, the
Mountaineers fall to 7-9
overall and 3-7 in confer-
ence play.
