It won’t go down in the standings, but it ought to be a blast anyway.

Saturday at Eastern Washington University’s Reese Court at 7 p.m., the 1995 EWU volleyball team will face some of their predecessors in the EWU alumni game.

An estimated 30 alums are scheduled to play in the match.

Regardless of the result in this match, EWU coach Pam Parks will get credit for whoever wins.

And speaking of Parks’ victories, she grabbed her 200th career win when Eastern defeated Southeast Missouri 15-9, 15-10, 15-12 on Sept. 17.

Before the Saturday night alumni match, however, the Eagles (0-2 Big Sky, 3-10 overall) will travel to Moscow, Idaho, to face the Idaho Vandals (2-0, 13-2) at Memorial Gym at 7:30 p.m.

Idaho received 20 votes in this week’s AVCA/USA Today Top 25 Coaches poll. Last week the Vandals received 12 votes.
