CALDWELL, Idaho -
Angela Sikora scored a career-high 28 points but it wasn't enough to prevent Evergreen from dropping an 89-71 Cascade Collegiate Conference women's basketball decision to the College of Idaho Coyotes on Saturday night inside J.A. Albertson Activities Center.
Sikora, a junior guard from Dayton, Nev., by way of Grays Harbor College, had her best shooting game as a Geoduck. She was 7-for-8 overall, 4-for-4 from three-point range and 10-for-11 from the foul line.
Evergreen (0-13 overall, 0-9 CCC) never led in the game and couldn't cut into a nine-point halftime lead as the Coyotes (8-7, 6-3) pulled away in the final quarter, outscoring the Geoducks, 28-21.
Joining Sikora in double figures for the Geoducks were
Deidra Miller with 17 points and
Anna Cook with 15. The Goducks shot 23-for-53 overall, 43.4 percent, but turned the ball over 21 times.
College of Idaho dominated the rebounding battle, 49-28, and outscored the Geoducks near the basket, 54-26.
The Coyotes shot 46.7 percent overall and were led in scoring by Alyssa Case with 18 points, while Jocelyn Cook-Cox pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds.
Evergreen gets next weekend off and returns to conference action at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, when it hosts nationally ranked Southern Oregon inside Costantino Recreation Center.
