The No. 22 ranked USU Eastern Lady Eagles moved to 2-0 on the season with a 67-62 win over No. 14 Casper College in Ephraim Saturday afternoon.

Japrix Weaver scored 16 points off the bench as the Lady Eagles used a big third quarter to capture a comfortable lead. The win marked the second in as many days following a victory Friday over Western Wyoming. 

Trailing 17-15 at the end of the first quarter, the Lady Eagles managed to capture a 29-28 lead heading into the break. USU Eastern continued to roll by outscoring Casper 20-13 in the third quarter and extended the lead to double-digits early in the fourth. 

Ellie Esplin was one of three USU Eastern starters to reach double-figures as she finished with 10 points and five assists. Olivia Nielson and Hadley Humpherys both scored 10, while Summer Christensen chipped in with nine. 

Offensively USU Eastern created an advantage by knocking down 10 three-point shots, compared to just three for Casper. The consistent shooting from deep helped the Lady Eagles overcome a large deficit at the free throw line as they finished with 10 less attempts than Casper. 

USU Eastern's depth was once again on display in the second win of the season as 11 players saw the court. 

With the weekend set now in the books, the Lady Eagles will prepare for a three-game road trip beginning Thursday against Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona. Friday the team will travel to Phoenix to meet Phoenix College and will then wrap up the weekend trek on Saturday against Glendale Community College.
