CHENEY, Wash. – Riding a two-game winning streak, the Eastern Washington University women's basketball team is back in action at Reese Court this week, hosting Weber State on Jan. 7 and 9. Tip-offs are set for 6:05 p.m. and 12:05 p.m., respectively.
 
The Eagles are 3-6 overall and 2-2 in Big Sky Conference play after a pair of road wins at Portland State last week (Dec. 31 and Jan. 2), and currently rank fourth in the Big Sky standings. Weber State is 0-5 overall and 0-2 in conference action after two losses at home against Idaho State.
 
Eastern Washington has three players that average double figures in Kennedy Dickie (13.0 ppg), Aaliyah Alexander (12.6 ppg) and Maisie Burnham (11.3), followed by Jenna Dick who is just shy with 9.4 points per game.
 
Dickie, who has scored in double figures in seven-straight games, also leads the team with 6.0 rebounds per game while Burnham averages 5.9. Alexander is currently 31^st nationally with 34.0 minutes per game as a freshman and leads the team with 3.1 assists per contest.

Weber State and Eastern Washington have both played and lost to Grand Canyon and Boise State during non-conference play. The Wildcats should've played Portland State the week before EWU did, however, COVID-19 issues wiped those games out.

Last season, Eastern Washington and Weber State split the regular season meetings, each picking up a win on their own home floors. The Eagles won 63-53 on Dec. 28 at Reese Court before falling in the final game of the regular season in overtime, 83-77 in Ogden, Utah where Grace Kirscher scored a career-high 31 points and added seven rebounds.
 
EWU trails the all-time series with the Wildcats, 35-45, but have won seven out of the last 10 meetings and are 23-18 under head coach Wendy Schuller. At Reese Court, the Eagles own a 21-16 all-time record over WSU.
 
After this week's games, the Eagles hit the road again – facing Southern Utah on back-to-back nights on Jan. 14 and 15 in Cedar City, Utah.
