The Lady Eagles fell short to Salt Lake Community College Saturday afternoon by a score of 31-59. With the loss today USU Eastern moves to 4-2 in conference play placing them in a battle for first place with CSI and Snow college.

The Eagles had a difficult night offensively shooting only 26.5% from the floor and ended the game with 18 turnovers. Brooklyn Perkins scored six points on 3-of-5 shooting, grabbed four rebounds and picked up three steals for USU Eastern in 26 minutes of play.

"We never settled in offensively as a team and had too many turnovers, especially in the first quarter. Great things happen for us when we play hard and together," said head coach Chelsey Warburton.
