The Washington State Cougars and Eastern Washington Eagles women both garnered spots in postseason tournaments, it was announced on Monday.
The Cougars (12-19) will travel to Provo, Utah, to take on the BYU Cougars on Thursday in the Women’s NIT. The time is yet to be determined.

For the third time in the past five seasons, the Eagles (18-13) will play in a postseason tourney.
Eastern accepted a bid to play in the Women’s Basketball Invitational and will open on the road at Texas State in San Marcos, Texas, on Thursday at 3 p.m.
The Eagles have never played Texas State and it’s their first time in the WBI.
Eastern is 1-4 all-time in national postseason games.
