Eastern athletics academic advisor Jim Fitzgerald and faculty athletic representative Laurie Morley also took the plunge. The Polar Plunge required p...
FROM NEWS SERVICE REPORTS The Eastern Washington University track and field team brought its all-conference performance total to four Feb. 23 at the Big Sky Indoor Championships in Bozeman, Mont.

That mark earned Arakawa all-conference honors and moved him up to second all-time in school history behind school-record holder David Paul (68-8 1/2). “Jordan had a tremendous meet and l...

Fresh from their most dominating performance of the season in an 83-51 Big Sky Conference women’s basketball win over Portland State last Thursday at Reese Court, Eastern Washington hopes to carry forward momentum earned from two straight wins on the road this week. Paced by a career high 24 points from freshman Hayley Hodgins, the Eagles clinched a spot in the 2013 conference tournament and helped Eastern claim the Dam Cup competition between EWU and PSU. Eastern (11-5 Big S...
Eastern Washington’s football season came to an end on the football field following a disappointing 45-42 loss to Sam Houston State University in the semifinals of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs Dec. 15. It officially came to a close last Sunday night at the Pence Union Building with a sold out annual awards banquet.
