The Eagles have already shown improvement in 2017 even while still without imports Abbey Duinker and Kaylee Kilpatrick, but taking down the Lady Wolfpack was always going to be a tough ask even on their home floor.
The Wolves are coming off winning last year's minor premiership and being only seconds away from winning the championship in the grand final against the Willetton Tigers.
They then started the 2017 with wins over the Cockburn Cougars and Rockingham Flames leading into Saturday night's clash with East Perth.
Joondalup pulled away in the second quarter to lead by six points at half-time and extended that to 13 by three quarter-time and 18 by the final buzzer. They did so with Michelle Swain coaching in the absence of Craig Friday as well.
Courtney Gerwing came up big for the Lady Wolfpack with Klara Wischer not suiting up. Gerwing finished the night with 20 points and four assists on the back of shooting 9-of-11 from the field.
Nikita Martin had her best night of the season to date as well with 19 points and four rebounds.
Chelsea Belcher contributed 17 points and five boards, Shani Amos nine points, 10 assists, six rebounds and three steals, and Cameron Flynn nine points.
Eryn Fisher top-scored for East Perth off the bench with 16 points, five steals and four rebounds.
Haylee DeSousa added 13 points for the Eagles while Brianna Fisher contributed eight points, Nicole Jorre St Jorre seven (seven rebounds, five assists, two steals) and Akim Lual seven points and four boards.
The round will conclude on Sunday afternoon with the Stirling Senators taking on the South West Slammers at Warwick Stadium.
