Clutch free throws lift Eagles over Sac State

Here's the S-R game story from Saturday night's game against Sacramento State. For a different take on the game, read the story in the Sacramento Bee.

Sac State Coach Jerome Jenkins seemed to make the most rational and logical decision with his team down by two with 38 seconds left to play in the game. With his team on defense, he decided to make Eastern earn the game from the free-throw line. The Eagles entering that point in the game were a horrid 8 for 18 from the charity stripe. But as Sam Amick writes in the Bee, the Eagles didn't cooperate.

The Eagles are now 3-1 in the Big Sky thanks to the wins on the road this past weekend. Next week they will take on the Portland State Vikings, who are coming off an emotional win in Flagstaff against Northern Arizona.
