Eastern returns to Reese Court on Monday, Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. to host Eastern Oregon, before heading back on the road to face Central Arkansas on Sunday, Nov. 23 at 11 a.m.

The Eagles are looking to bounce back from a 94–67 loss to Seattle U on Wednesday, where they couldn't overcome the Redhawks' fast start and red-hot shooting. Seattle led wire-to-wire, knocking down nearly 65% from the field.

Associate Head Coach Ryan Lundgren said the team looked worn down after a long road swing, calling the effort "flat" and "embarrassing." He credited Seattle's intensity after last year's EWU win and said the Eagles "had no answer" on the defensive end.

Eastern moved the ball well early, tallying 10 assists in the first half, but the offense stalled after the break, managing just one assist while shooting 37%. Johnny Radford led with 13 points, and Isaiah Moses added 12.

After a grueling 10-day stretch away from home, Lundgren said the group is eager to reset, regroup, and sharpen up heading into their upcoming home appearance.
