Eastern Washington completed an undefeated Big Sky Conference regular season with a sweep of road game last weekend, clinching both first place and the host role in next week's league tournament. The Eagles clinched first place on Friday, Oct. 20 with a combination of their 4-2 win at Idaho State and Portland State's 1-0 loss to North Dakota. Eastern followed that with a 2-1 win at Weber State last Sunday. EWU improves to 14-4-1 overall with an undefeated 8-0-1 conference...
The “other Montana” as in Montana State travels to Roos Field this Saturday. Two of the top teams in the Big Sky Conference in recent years pair off this week when the No. 10/9 Eastern Washington University football team hosts Montana State this Saturday. Kickoff is 1:05 p.m. at sold-out Roos Field on Military and Veterans Appreciation Day. The Bobcats and Eagles resume what has been a rivalry maybe not as intense as Eastern and Montana, but in recent times, for the most part, it’s been equally entertaining. Parti...
The names of the top opposing players on the field may be somewhat unfamiliar this week to fans of the Eagles, but the offensive numbers and head coach will pop out to them. The top two offenses in the Big Sky Conference will square off when the 10th-ranked Eastern Washington University football team plays at UC Davis and new Aggie head coach Dan Hawkins this Saturday, Oct. 7. Kickoff is 6 p.m. in Davis, Calif., where EWU plays its fourth road game in the first six outings of...
Two years ago the Montana Grizzlies laid a real licking on Eastern Washington, 57-16 at Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula. With the momentum of a huge non-conference win on the road in New York City against Fordham, 56-21 last Saturday, plus an offense that finally came untracked and a defense that stifled the Rams in the Bronx, the Football Championship Subdivision's No. 11-ranked Eagles would like to deliver a little payback in the Big Sky Conference opener. Kickoff is...
The old notion that there is a problem getting places across the country — and the world — from Spokane is certainly something of the distant past with the most recent announcement from Spokane International Airport that yet another new non-stop flight was added. Southwest Airlines (SWA) announced Aug. 28 that it will begin daily flights to San Jose (California) International Airport starting April 8, 2018 on a 143-seat Boeing 737-700 aircraft. “We are grateful to Southwest Airlines for recognizing the strong passenger deman...
The Eastern Washington University soccer team used home field to their full advantage, sweeping a pair of nonconference matches last weekend. In their Sept. 18 opener the Eagles scored a 5-1 win over the University of Nebraska at Omaha. They followed that two days later with a 1-0 decision over the University of South Dakota. Against Omaha, five different players scored, led by the goal and assist from Chloe Williams who opened scoring in the second minute. Saige Lyons made...
For a change it was the Eastern Washington defense that made the noise, at least in the team's first preseason scrimmage Aug. 19 at Roos Field. Interceptions by junior linebacker Kurt Calhoun, sophomore linebacker Trevor Davis Jr., junior defensive back Brandon Montgomery and true freshman defensive back Anfernee Gurley were the highlights of a defensive effort that saw the offense average only 3.7 yards per play. The defense surrendered no play of longer than 18 yards in the...
Eastern Washington University's other football team - or futbal to be more precise - is also busy preparing to defend a Big Sky Conference title. Coming off the most successful season in program history where they won the BSC championship on their home field Nov. 6 over Northern Arizona in a penalty kick finish 4-3, the Eagles are tabbed to be the team to beat in 2017. That season starts this Friday, Aug. 18, at 4 p.m. against the University of Nebraska at Omaha at the EWU...

There will likely be no surprise attacks in 2017 from the Eastern Washington University offense. Last season, Eagles' sophomore quarterback Gage Gubrud shocked just about everyone - except, perhaps, himself - by becoming the Big Sky Conference's Offensive MVP. The McMinville, Ore. product was tabbed July 17 to repeat that honor in preseason voting from the league's annual Football Kickoff in Park City, Utah. Gubrud was joined on the preseason all-conference list by senior...
Eastern Washington University teammates Cooper Kupp and Samson Ebukam are now together again as members of the Los Angeles Rams following last week's NFL draft.

Then Saturday, the Rams selected Ebukam in the fourth round with the 125th pick. "We congratulate Cooper Kupp," Eastern head coach Aaron Best said. "Everything he's accomplished he's...

Last time out at Reese Court, the Eastern Washington men’s basketball team got half the job done when it came to “protecting home court” as head coach Jim Hayford likes to say. Following a convincing 82-64 win over Montana State, the Eagles faded in a 65-59 loss to Montana that ruined their undefeated record at home. Now in their usual dogfight with nine other teams — all separated by one or two losses for eventual Big Sky Conference tournament seeding with a 3-2 league record — Eastern gets another chance. Starting tonight (...
Following a home sweep where they defeated Idaho State, 58-41 on Jan. 12 and Weber State, 99-85 two days later, the Eastern Washington women’s basketball team hits the road for a pair of Big Sky Conference games.

Delaney Hodgins scored 26 points in the Weber win. Ashli Payne matched Hodgins’ 26 points. Payne also finished with a double-double, recording 11 reb...
Had the finish had been like their start, the Eastern Washington men’s basketball team would be sitting pretty as one of just two of the Big Sky Conference’s undefeated teams. But the Eagles couldn’t replicate the quick 7-0 lead they took at the start of their game with Montana last Saturday. Instead they surrendering the game’s final six points, all from the free throw line, in a 65-59 loss to the Grizzlies that ruined their undefeated record at home and is now 8-1. The visit from the Montana schools did produce a win las...
A disappointing start to their Montana road trip had a happy ending for the Eastern Washington women’s basketball team.

Coming off a record-setting season a year ago, the Eastern Washington University soccer team has high expectations for the upcoming 2016 campaign, and that was validated Aug. 8 as the Eagles were selected to finish second in the Big Sky Conference preseason soccer poll. EWU earned 81 total points and a pair of first-place votes to place second behind defending champion Idaho’s 92 points. “None of us can predict the future or injuries, or any other of the variables that encompass a season,” head coach Chad Bodnar, who enter...

There’s some unfamiliar territory in the 2016-17 Eastern Washington University men’s basketball schedule and it’s called Reese Court. The Eagles will play 16 games on their home court, equally spilt between nonleague and Big Sky Conference in a schedule released Aug. 8. In previous recent seasons, Eastern has played the majority of its nonleague contests on the road, but that changes as the Eagles will host two different four-team tournaments among their contests at Reese. “The schedule gives us many great opportu...
