Lady Eagles start season off slow
The College of Eastern Utah lady Eagles are 1-2 after a win over Colorado Northwestern and two hard losses from Snow and SLCC on the road last weekend.
“This might be the best Colorado [Northwestern Community College] team in years, their strength is in three-point shooting, against us they hit 16-three pointers. Their weakness is in the post, they don’t have much size,” said lady Eagles Head Coach Dave Paur, after last Tuesday’s 84-70 home win over CNCC.
