By Logan Corta – USU Eastern Athletics:

The Utah State Eastern Eagles fell to 3-15 after a loss to a conference rival this weekend at Salt Lake Community College.

The Bruins jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. They pushed their first-half lead of 17 points to 34 by the time the final buzzer rang, the scoreboard showing 109-73.

Jack Jamele stood out for the Eagles in the loss. Jamele has been coming off the bench for the Eagles, but he made the most out of his opportunity to start against SLCC, finishing with 16 points, 1 assist, and 1 steal. Neck and neck with Jamele was the Eagle’s consistent offensive standout, Gbenga Olubi. Olubi also had 16 points to go with his 2 steals. Dyson Lighthall followed not far behind with 14 points, 3 rebounds, and a block.

The Eagles will look to rally against Western Wyoming Community College this Tuesday at home.
