Gleason on Gingras
"We are excited to bring Caitie to EWU! She can absolutely fill it up from behind the three point line. She has a high basketball IQ and will fit in perfectly with our team and sophomore class. Caitie worked her way into the starting lineup at CSUB as a redshirt-freshman and gained valuable experience competing in the Big West last season. We are looking forward to her joining us this summer!"
Emma Myers | Guard | 5-11 | Ridgeline High School | Spokane Valley, Wash.

Along with being a star on the court, Emma played four years of slow-pitch softball for Ridgeline.
Emma plans on pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering at Eastern.
Gleason on Myers
"Emma will be a great Eag. She is long, athletic, versatile, competitive and has the ability to score at all three levels, as well as set others up to score. Emma had a great senior year in the GSL this season, playing point guard for Ridgeline and leading them into the postseason. We are excited to keep local talent at home!"
Brielle Magnuson | Guard | 5-11 | Walla Walla JC | Meridian, Idaho

While attending Eastern, Brielle plans on majoring in Business and wants to pursue a career as a Medical Device sales representative.
Gleason on Magnuson
"Bri brings a winning pedigree to us from Walla Walla JC and will provide scoring and rebounding at the wing/forward position. She has filled up the stat sheet in the NWAC the past two seasons and will make an immediate impact for us. Bri loves to compete and finds a way to do whatever is necessary to help her team win. That competitive fire is contagious and we are eager to have her on campus soon!"
