Eagles magical season comes to an end

The Eastern Eagles played right with the number two seed Oklahoma State
Cowboys at Kemper Arena, but unfortunately it was for only one half. The
Eagles were tied entering the final 20 minutes of play, when the Cowboys
showed everyone in the nation why they are a team to be reckoned with. As
Corey Brock of the News Tribune writes, it was a game that the Cowboys almost took for granted.

The loss ends the Eagles season, which witnessed a number of firsts. The
Eagles had the longest winning streak in school history at 11, they also won
the regular season Big Sky Championship outright for the first time. They
won the conference tournament for the first time and made their first ever
NCAA tournament appearance. Although they may be disappointed with the way
the second half went yesterday, it was an amazing season for the Eagles and
one that EWU fans will never forget.
