Eagles beat Titans in track meet

This time the race was a relay. Rodney Stuckey was his usual dynamic self but Eastern Washington put five other players in double figures to race past Cal State Fullerton 110-100 before 1,979 fans at Reese Court on Monday night.

In the end, it’s Huskies who finish

SEATTLE – Eastern Washington gave 16th-ranked Washington everything it could handle but it's obvious where the Eagles fell short in a 90-83 men's basketball loss at Bank of America Arena Friday night. The Eagles couldn't finish.

Eastern faces big game

Eastern Washington thumps Geoducks

Eastern Washington didn't get much of a challenge from The Evergreen State College but there was suspense in the non-conference men's basketball game at Reese Court Tuesday night. While the Eagles were soaring to a 106-65 win over the Geoducks Tuesday night at Reese Court there was some unintended side competition.
Sports

Eastern women fall to Washington

For one half, it was obvious the Eastern Washington women's basketball team was playing nationally prominent Washington, which was making its first appearance at Reese Court since 1990. In the second half the Eagles were just playing basketball.

Wulff focuses on EWU’s maturity level

Can reading a book to elementary children, pounding nails or picking up garbage help Eastern Washington football players hold their blocks longer or make surer tackles? Eagles coach Paul Wulff vows to find out.

Eastern’s Bergstrom first-team All-Big Sky

Victorious homecoming

PULLMAN — Four years ago Carl Bonnell decided to leave Pullman to become a Washington Husky. And now, he has a win to validate that choice. Bonnell, who signed a letter of intent with WSU, switched schools after grayshirting that fall. A starter this year after Isaiah Stanback's injury, Saturday marked the junior's first career Pac-10 win.
Sports

When it rained it poured

PULLMAN – It was only fitting that the Apple Cup basically ended when Washington State quarterback Alex Brink was sacked by the Washington defense. That gave the Huskies five sacks and a fair share of the multitude of big plays the Huskies used to produce a 35-32 win over the Cougars on Saturday at Martin Stadium to salvage what had become a disappointing Pac-10 football season.

Eagles prepare nest for Huskies

The Washington women's basketball team makes a rare appearance in Spokane County next week. UW plays Eastern Washington at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Reese Court in a doubleheader with the Eagles men, who play Evergreen State.

Murrietta stands out among QBs

Much of the preseason attention in the Big Sky Conference focused on senior quarterbacks Josh Swogger and Matt Gutierrez, both of whom were leaving I-A programs and considered Eastern Washington before going elsewhere. Gutierrez, who left Michigan for Idaho State, was picked as the preseason all-conference quarterback. Swogger, who chose Montana, was under the microscope because he was leaving Washington State, where he started as a sophomore.
Sports

Eagles cruise in finale

The thank-you card was sealed with a lot of hugs and a few tears, the gift a promise of a better future. They were delivered at Woodward Field Saturday afternoon in the form of Eastern Washington's season-ending 40-6 thrashing of Idaho State.
Sports

Eagles complete tough season

A disappointing season for the Eastern Washington football team comes to an end this afternoon with one last strange twist. It's Senior Day for a team that occasionally had up to seven freshmen on the field at one time last week.

Gonzaga women surprise Utah with a win

Never mind that this Utah team is a shell of its former self: It's still Utah, one of the most successful women's basketball teams in the West. Utah has only had one losing record in 23 seasons under coach Elaine Elliott. Her Utes have had 20 wins 17 times and made the NCAA tournament 14 times.
Sports

Both sides appreciate Nikolao

The tug-of-war for Harrison Nikolao started the day he walked into the Eastern Washington football office. That's not to be confused with a recruiting war.

Bjorklund officially joins Vols

Highlighted by Angie Bjorklund signing with national power Tennessee, several local players were expected to sign Division I basketball letters of intent Wednesday while local programs announced the signing of seven players. Bjorklund, a 6-foot guard and the most highly recruited player in Spokane history, announced she would attend Tennessee prior to her senior year at University and made it official Wednesday morning.

Bobcats get UM after rest

There is plenty of intrigue near the top of the Big Sky Conference standings as the season winds down. Second-ranked Montana (8-1, 6-0) has a I-AA playoff berth wrapped up but won't get the automatic bid without beating Montana State in two weeks.
Sports

Rodney’s team

Rodney Stuckey accepted the challenge of moving to a new position as a freshman and came through with a season unlike anything Eastern Washington University or the Big Sky Conference has ever seen. Now he's upping the ante.
Sports

Henry carries tremendous load

PULLMAN – Considering the way Chris Henry's career has been, the Arizona junior running back had a career against Washington State on Saturday. He ground out 94 yards on a school-record 35 carries and scored two touchdowns as the Wildcats stunned the 25th-ranked Cougars 27-17 at rain-drenched Martin Stadium.
Sports

Not-so-special teams

PULLMAN – Washington State special teams have been shoddy all season, and things didn't get much better in the losing effort against Arizona. Two botched punt plays cost the Cougars dearly, and the visiting Wildcats turned them into 10 points. First, a poor snap from Tony Thompson got to Darryl Blunt on a short hop in the second quarter, and Blunt couldn't handle the wet football as it bounced up to him. Arizona tackled Blunt for a 10-yard loss and quickly hit a 37-yard field goal to take a 10-point lead into the half.
Sports

Counting on chemistry

With only one senior, Idaho's maiden run in the Western Athletic Conference was a little bumpy as far as the Vandals women's basketball team was concerned. But that was nothing compared to the off-season when an assistant coach and several underclassmen, including star point guard Leilani Mitchell, left the program.
Sports

Eagles travel to take on coach-less Weber

Even when adversity strikes a rival it seems to hit the Eastern Washington football team. The Big Sky Conference suspended Weber State coach Ron McBride for one game for criticizing the officials following the Wildcats' loss to Montana State last weekend.

WSU’s Murrell expects boost from sophomores
