Host EWU seeks 2nd NCAA bid

SPOKANE, Wash. —

The Eagles have been among the NCAA's Top 10 teams in collective grade point average for the past eight years, even as their winning percentage rarely earned a passing grade.

That has changed, as Eastern Washington (19-10, 12-4) won its first Big Sky regular season title and will host the league tournament beginning Thursday on its campus in Cheney.
