Jessica Denmon

Jessican Denmon’s buzzer beater as the first half ended gave Evergreen a 14 point lead but College of Idaho fought back to get within three with 46 seconds left before Denmon hit three free throws to seal the deal and give Evergreen the 73-69 win. Denmon finished the game with 19 points and Sadee Jones recorded a double-double with 15 points and 16 boards.  LaNiecia Weatherspoon and Sammi Clark added 12 and 11 points respectively.

The win keeps Evergreen in the hunt to host their first home playoff game. They currently are tied for fifth at 10-7 and will need a win at first place Eastern Oregon tomorrow and some help to get up to fourth.
