Eastern Washington University Athletics

21-6; Coach Wade Benson

Making their fourth appearance in the NCAA Tournament, Eastern advanced as far as any other Big Sky Conference team in league history by winning a first-round game. Eastern defeated Oregon State in five games before losing to Hawaii in four games in the second round. Eastern finished just third in the regular season in the Big Sky -- and had its 29-match home winning streak come to an end. However, Eastern rolled through the Big Sky Tournament with victories over Idaho State, Northern Arizona and regular season champion and tourney host Sacramento State. Janelle Ruen was selected as the tournament's MVP, and Robyn Felder and Lindsay Crandell were also selected to the all-tournament team as Eastern hit a record .329 as a team. Ruen earned first team All-Big Sky Conference honors, Felder was on the second team and setter Courtney Bush received honorable mention. Felder was also given CoSIDA Academic All-District VIII honors and was one of nine Eagles to earn Big Sky All-Academic accolades. As part of the celebration for the 25th anniversary of the Big Sky Conference for women in the 2013-14 school year, the team’s win over OSU was selected as No. 9 on the list of the league’s 25 Greatest Women’s Moments.
