Head Coach Fred Castro Fred Castro Head Coach ~ Second Season at EMU Oklahoma, 2004

Fred Castro, the eighth Head Women’s Basketball Coach in Eastern Michigan University history, begins his second season at the helm in 2017-18. In his first season leading the Eagles, Castro coached Phillis Webb to the best season of her career. Webb posted career-highs in points (454), rebounds (261), free throws made (75), threepointers (37), field goals (171), and minutes (1,076). The Brooklyn Park, Minn. native also became just the seventh player in Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball history to grab 700 rebounds and score 1,000 points in their career, eclipsing both marks under the guidance of Castro. A rising star in the coaching world, the 37-year old Castro has spent the past 16 years climbing the ranks from student manager to now the eighth head coach in EMU program history. During his career, he has worked tirelessly to learn and has held nearly every position within a women’s basketball program including serving as offensive coordinator, recruiting coordinator, video coordinator, and travel coordinator. Castro has been a part of 10 squads that have participated in the postseason since the 2001-02 campaign, including a pair of trips to the NCAA Tournament Final Four. In 15 years of coaching, his teams have combined to post a 317-171 record (.650 winning percentage) and eight seasons of 20-or-more victories. Castro came to Ypsilanti following a three year stint in Seattle as an assistant coach with the Huskies, in which Washington posted a 69-35 record and a trip to the 2016 NCAA Tournament Final Four. He worked with the guards and acted as the team’s offensive coordinator as the Huskies defeated 14 top-25 programs during his tenure. A storybook 2015-16 campaign saw Washington post a 26-11 record and the program’s first Final Four appearance. Dealing with a short bench due to injuries, the Huskies utilized a six-woman rotation as it tore through the NCAA Tournament, including beating No. 4 Stanford, 85–76, to win the South Regional. Washington finished the year ranked in the top 50 in 11 statistical categories including: free throws made (521 - 6th), free throw percentage (78.0% - 6th), three-pointers made (271 17th) and rebounds (1,437 - 23rd). Castro tutored USBWA All-America honoree Kelsey Plum, who was fourth in the nation in scoring at 25.9 points per game, while leading the country in total points with 960. In addition to her scoring prowess, Plum averaged 3.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists, while leading the nation in both free throws made (266) and attempted (299). The junior guard broke the Washington record for points in a season, while also setting the Pacific-12 Conference 26

record for career free throws made. Castro’s guards saw success in 2014-15 as he coached Plum and Jazmine Davis through a record-breaking season. Plum finished her season ranked seventh in the nation in scoring and second in free throws made. Additionally, she set UW single-season records in 30-point games (7), free throws made (207) and percentage (89.6%), single season scoring (746 points), and points in a game with 45 against Oklahoma. Davis completed her senior season with the Dawgs as the UW all-time leader in six categories including points, three-point field goals and free throws made. She also become the first four-time All-Pac-12 player in UW history. In his first year with the program, Washington earned a trip to the quarterfinals of the Postseason WNIT. The Huskies finished 2014, including 10-8 in the Pac-12. The Dawgs defeated five teams that were ranked at some point during the season, including an upset of then-No. 3 Stanford at Alaska Airlines Arena in front of a nationally televised audience. The win ended the 58-game road conference winning streak of the Cardinal. On the recruiting trail, Washington national prominence continued to improve with the 2016 recruiting class ranked 16thbest in the country. Castro inked a McDonald’s All-­American in 2015 class, while UW’s 2014 incoming group was ranked in the top-25 nationally. He arrived at Washington from the University of Tulsa where he served as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator from 201113. When Castro arrived at Tulsa, the Golden Hurricane were coming off just five wins, but in 2013 they won the Conference USA Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Castro helped put together a pair of top-50 recruiting classes at Tulsa, while also assisting with on-floor coaching, including practice planning, player development and scouting. His final recruiting class was ranked 39th nationally and fourth amongst mid-majors. In 2012, Castro was first invited to the Nike Villa 7 Clinic for the top 30 assistant coaches in the country. He attended the clinic yearly from 2012-15. In addition to Castro’s duties at Tulsa, he worked as an advance scout for the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream.

What They Are Saying About Fred Castro “Eastern Michigan is gaining a great family. Fred, Cynthia, Aliya and Alonso have impacted our family, campus, program, and city ever since they have been here and have been a huge in every phase of our success since arriving and I feel you can expect the exact same thing at Eastern Michigan. He has the ability to connect anybody he’s around, whether that’s a coach, player, recruit, booster, anybody, he has a knack for developing and maintaining relationships and fostering connections with people. You couple that with his knowledge on the court, his work ethic, and desire to build and you have got a lethal combination. You have somebody who has all the tools to be successful and make the transition from assistant coach to head coach. I think he has a support system with deep coaching roots which is why I think is coaching tree will branch quickly.” Mike Neighbors, Head Coach University of Arkansas “Fred is a quintessential gym rat. He has an unrivaled passion for the game of basketball. As a scout team player here at Oklahoma and then our video coordinator, a young guy getting into the business, he had a hunger that was unquenchable. I think that’s what makes him great and will continue to make him great because he never rests. He wants to continually learn and get better. I think he has a great vision of what he wants the program to look like and the framework around which he will build it. I can tell you, nobody will outwork him. He is incredibly bright, has dogged determination, and he has a great feel for the game of basketball. He sees it and has the ability to communicate with players about what he sees, which I think is key to successful coaching. It’s not what he knows, it’s what he can get them to know and I think that’s probably where is greatest gift lies.” Sherri Coale, Head Coach University of Oklahoma

Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a University, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world.

EMU’s Economic Impact

Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3.7 billion annually reflects a return of more than $42 for each dollar received from the state.

Our History

Founded in 1849, when the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name changed several times –­ to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times, adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975, and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently ,Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs and numerous community-focused institutes. The university has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

Convocation Center

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in its 19th season as the crown jewel of EMU athletics, opened up a new era of excitement on the west campus of EMU in the fall of 1998. The state-of-the-art, $29-million facility is the result of a decade-long effort to improve and upgrade university facilities and followed closely the opening of the $41-million Bruce T. Halle Library on the main campus. Construction of the Convocation Center began in the spring of 1997 and culminated with its dedication game, Dec. 9, 1998, with a men’s basketball game against the University of Michigan in front of a crowd of 7,647. Since its opening, the Convocation Center has served as home court for the Eagles’ men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The EMU wrestling team and women’s gymnastics team have held several meets on the arena floor. The Convocation Center has also served as the site for six Mid-American Conference Championships. EMU hosted the 2000, 2007 and 2014 MAC Gymnastics Championship and the 2002, 2009 and 2016 MAC Wrestling Championship. The arena has been the host site for 10 first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, eight first-round games for the men’s basketball squad and four first-round MAC Volleyball Tournament games. The building also played host for the EMU women’s basketball team’s upset of the University of Michigan in the First Round of the 2011 Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) and a pair of contests during the 2014 Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI). Meanwhile, the EMU men’s basketball team hosted the first round of the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Tournament for the program’s first postseason home game. The Convocation Center also played host to the 2008 WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals and the WNBA Championship, as the Detroit Shock utilized the facility for the playoffs. Along with their commitment to EMU Athletics, the Convocation Center staff has brought some of the finest entertainers in the world to Ypsilanti. The Convo has hosted acts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smashmouth, Ludacris, Bob Dillion, Toby Keith, Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Chapelle, John Mayer and Jay-Z. The Convocation Center is also the site for EMU’s spring and winter commencement ceremonies.

Among other events that have taken place include numerous youth sporting competitions, high school commencements, trade shows, job fairs, conventions, charity and community awareness events as well as a circus. The 204,316-square-foot facility features three user-friendly levels — arena, concourse and office — and three seating configurations to maximize crowd capacity and space usage. The largest seating capacity is for center-stage entertainment activities, with 9,500 seats available. The capacity for basketball games is approximately 8,800. EMU’s athletic administration is located on the office level, along with offices for the EMU football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball coaching staffs. The EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, as well as offices for the Convocation Center staff, are located on the office level. The main athletic training room and office space for EMU’s sports medicine staff is located on the arena level as are strength and conditioning facilities and equipment rooms. In the summer of 2012, the Convocation Center received a major face-lift, as a YESCO four-sided ceiling hung display sign, featuring video boards on all four sides, was installed above center court in the arena. The fixture features four 10MM full color video boards, with each board’s active area measuring 15.7-foot wide by 11.5-foot tall. In addition, the system also features three ribbon displays on the west and east sides and under the scoreboard. The arena will also showcase an integrated light emitting diode (LED) courtside scorer’s table. There is no doubt that the Convocation Center has become a special place for athletic events, but there is a warm spot in the hearts of Eastern Michigan fans for Bowen Field House, the home for men’s and women’s basketball games for 43 years. Bowen was built in 1955 at a cost of $1.25 million. The facility has 79,529 square feet of floor space and includes an eight-laps-to-the-mile indoor track. An additional 9,394 square feet, along with new permanent seating, a new court and upgrading of the facility was completed in 1982 at a cost of $506,938. Bowen still serves as home to EMU’s track teams and also serves as a practice facility for many of Eastern’s varsity squads.

1. FANS HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES As an individual who is a season ticket holder, a member of an Eastern Michigan University booster organization (e.g., Eagles Pride, E-Gridiron Group), has made financial contributions to EMU, or been involved in promoting EMU’s athletic program, you are considered a “Booster” and are required to adhere to an atmosphere of compliance. As a booster, your conduct reflects on the integrity of the entire university. Once you support EMU Athletics, you retain that identity as a booster forever - the rules still apply! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU’s athletics program. 2. DON’T GIVE BENEFITS OR INDUCEMENTS

 Student-athletes can only receive benefits that other students in the general population can receive. An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an EMU employee or booster to provide a current or prospective studentathlete (or the athlete’s relatives or friends) a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to:

• Do not visit a prospect’s school to acquire films or transcripts in an attempt to evaluate the prospect’s academic or athletics eligibility; • Do not have contact with a prospect (or the prospect’s relatives or friends) during any of their visits to EMU’s campus; • Do not contact student-athletes enrolled in other four-year institutions regarding the possibility of transferring to EMU. Even though there are many rules prohibiting your involvement with prospects and the recruiting process, as a booster you are permitted to do the following: • Notify EMU coaching staff about noteworthy prospects in your area; • Attend a prospect’s athletics event on your own initiative, as long as you do not have contact with the prospect (or the prospect’s parents or coach); • Continue existing friendships, provided you do not solicit the prospect’s enrollment.

The EMU Identity NOT ALWAYS THE EAGLES Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname“Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites” and “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles down through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the result of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee, composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriateness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Indian logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express. GREEN, WHITE AND YELLOW? The EMU Eagles’ colors are green and white, but the track and cross country teams both feature yellow on their uniforms. There is a reason these teams stand out, and the history behind it goes back to 1967. EMU Hall of Fame Head Coach Bob Parks offered some insight to the story behind how the yellow came about. “When I got to EMU in January 1967, the team was wearing dark green singlets and dark green shorts. In that season, we ran a meet at Western Michigan University, and the finish line was beneath the balcony which was very dark. In the hurdle final, there were six men, three from Michigan State and three from EMU. MSU’s uniforms were almost identical to ours. When the finish positions were announced, we got the short end of the stick. You could hardly see the runners under the dark balcony area, and they got the finish wrong. At that point, I decided to get uniforms that showed up better. “Back then, Kansas was a big name in collegiate track, and they wore pink shorts and powder blue singlets with pink lettering. Everyone thought they were great. I decided to copy them and ordered orange shorts and green singlets with white lettering trimmed in orange. We wore them for about four years, but the Regents decided that all of our teams should be wearing green and white. When they made us get rid of the orange and green, I ordered green and gold, colors I had always liked. At first, they weren’t going to let us use them, but I pointed out that our football team was wearing green and gold. Our administration could hardly argue with me, since our gridders were wearing it too. “ “We have worn it ever since, and it is known from coast to coast, as our men have done traditionally well nationally. It also differentiates us from MSU and Ohio University’s color schemes. The green and gold does show up well at the finish line, but nowadays they use computer cameras, so it is less of a problem as it was in the 60s and 70s.” EMU OLYMPIANS THROUGH THE YEARS EMU has had a track representative at the summer Olympic Games since Hayes Jones in 1960. The Eagles have had 18 representatives in 56 years, 15 men and three women.

Student-Athlete Support Student-Athlete Support Services

Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success. At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an academic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, providing learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and university rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the studentathlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other university student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and providing additional help with courses when requested.

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine

The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long history and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara MasterHunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Additionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medicine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes. At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: To provide a high standard of medical care through effective preventive and management programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilitation process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well. The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facilities in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning

Our Sports Performance Program applies a complete approach to scientifically and practically progress each individual athlete. Our purpose is to improve all components that will aid in achieving maximal athletic performance while reducing the occurrence of injury. We incorporate athletic based, free weight, multi-joint, and multi-directional movements which vary from a diverse collection of strength and conditioning disciplines to prepare each athlete for the general and specific demands of their sport. Standards that will be implemented at all times are: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Quality before Quantity, and Execution before Innovation. Assuming quality thought and effort have been put into a sports performance program, all else being equal, the program feels that these three components are usually separating an elite level program from the average. Incorporating Daily Competitions – The ability for athletes to compete in an every day setting is critical to the success of team and individual sports. Anything from team relay’s, to 1 on 1 tug of wars, to using a dumbbell weight heavier than the previous week. I simply make the statement to my teams, “WIN THE DAY.” Work harder – beat your last weeks sets/reps/weight/time, COMPETE! There is competitive nature in all mankind. Sometimes it takes a little extra effort on the coaching end to see it. Fill your team with competitors and your program will take care of itself. Physical and Mental Sport Transfer – Training to the specifics of the sport, and style that the head coaches are teaching is an essential way to succeed at any level. Find out what the sport coaches are looking to achieve and speak their same language. You are an addition to their staff, hop on board and cater your philosophy to their needs. Giving each athlete specific examples of on field/on court experiences where success can either be earned or an opportunity can be lost. Being able to make athlete’s understand the importance of mental toughness that is needed in the weight room and how it transfers over to their sport. The pain, the physical and mental struggles they endure in each training session is setting them up for success for their competitive season. Fight for every rep just as you would for any rebound, blocked shot, interception, or stolen base. Make references back to their closest contests that might have been decided by one play – (or one rep). Positive Influential Environment – Do athletes leave the weight room looking to return for more or dreading the next time they have to mope through one of the most silent hours of their day? Each session, from the minute the first athlete walks in, to the last grueling minute they are dragging out, fill the room with ENERGY!!! Push them through their toughest moments and coach every rep. Show each and every athlete that you care about their progress. Stay vocal, provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism, play that latest hip-hop track and find a way to create a positive training environment.

Mid-American Conference Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 71st year of service to our students. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 10 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009. The league hosts championships in 23 sports, including neutral site events at some of the finest facilities in the nation – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (Sprenger Stadium, Avon, Ohio). The MAC secured a four-year contract extension with Ford Field to host the MAC Football Championship Game through the 2019 football season, anchored a six-year contract extension for the MAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments at Quicken Loans Arena through the 2023 season, and stabilized a five-year contract extension through the 2020 season for the MAC Baseball Tournament at Sprenger Stadium in Avon, Ohio. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has strategically positioned the MAC’s participation in hosting NCAA events and championships. The MAC recently served as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and will also serve as host of the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships and the 2020 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First and Second Rounds, also at Quicken Loans Arena. The MAC has previously hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships, and will also host the 2019 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under Steinbrecher’s direction. In the summer of 2014, the MAC and ESPN announced a historic 13-year rights extension deal through the 2026-27 season for expanded national television and digital distribution. This is the largest and most extensive agreement in the history of the Conference and brings long-term security for the MAC through the 2026-27 academic year. ESPN has exclusive television and digital distribution rights for all MAC sporting events, and guarantees coverage of every football game, and select men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sporting events. The MAC and ESPN will establish on-campus production capabilities that will provide a significant increase in the national coverage of baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling and Olympic sports on ESPN3. This will open up nearly 92 million households from ESPN3 for exposure to MAC sports for the first time in Conference history. Through this ESPN partnership, the MAC and CBS Sports Network announced a four-year sublicensing agreement to expand its national coverage of football and basketball through the 2018-19 season. For the second time in Mid-American Conference history a member institution will be playing in one of the prestigious New Year’s Six Bowl Games, as MAC Champion Western Michigan will face Wisconsin in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Jan. 2 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. During the 2016 season, the MAC witnessed six members accept bowl invitations. Western Michigan (Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, Arlington, Texas), Ohio (Dollar General Bowl, Mobile, Ala.), Toledo (Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, Montgomery, Ala.), Central Michigan (Miami Beach Bowl, Miami, Fla.), Miami (St. Petersburg Bowl, St. Petersburg, Fla.) and Eastern Michigan (Popeyes Bahamas Bowl, Nassau, Bahamas) represented the MAC in bowl games during the 2016 bowl season. The six bowl invitations are one shy of the MAC single-season record of seven bowl invitations during the 2012 and 2016 bowl seasons. This also marks the ninth time in MAC history to have five or more programs receive a bowl invitation (2004, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016) in a single-season. In the previous six bowl seasons, the MAC has a record of 11-24 in 35 bowl games – 2016 (0-6); 2015 (3-4); 2014 (2-3); 2013 (0-5); 2012 (2-5); 2011 (4-1). In December of 2016, Western Michigan head coach P.J. Fleck was named MAC Head Coach of the Year, Broncos WR Corey Davis as the MAC Offensive Player of the Year and KR Darius Phillips was named MAC Special Teams Player of the Year. Also receiving accolades, Ohio DE Tarell Basham earned MAC Defensive Player of the Year, while Bobcats S Javon Hagan was named MAC Freshman of the Year. Western Michigan senior QB Zach Terrell was named the league’s Vern Smith Leadership Award winner and was also named the winner of the 2016 William V. Campbell Trophy by the National Football Foundation as the best football scholar athlete in the nation. In December of 2013, former Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-athlete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). During the 2017 NFL Draft, Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis was the fifth overall selection by the Tennessee Titans. Davis’ selection was the highest ever for the Broncos program and tied the second-highest ever draft selection by a student from the MAC. It also marked the third MAC football student selected in the top five of the NFL draft over the last five seasons. In the 2014 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders. Mack’s selection was the highest-ever for the Buffalo program and the second highest ever selection for a MAC student. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft. In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. The MAC also had four football programs ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio—as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Raton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, and Montgomery, Ala. for a sixyear period (2014-2019). The creation of the Marmot Boca Raton and Bahamas Bowls were the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a six-year rotating basis. Each football season the MAC has a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportunities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the Dollar General Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season. During the 2016 football season, Western Michigan won the 2016 Marathon MAC Football Championship Game with a 29-23 win over Ohio on Dec.

This marked only the second time in MAC history for ESPN College GameDay to visit a MAC campus. The previous visit came in 2003 with Northern Illinois at Bowling Green.

Junior Sasha Dailey scored a game-high 29 points, while also grabbing a career-high 12 rebounds for the first double-double of her career. Senior Sheyna Deans also picked up the first double-double of her career, tying a career-high with 16 points and grabbing a career-best 10 rebounds. Meanwhile, senior Phillis Webb picked up the fifth double-double effort of her EMU tenure with 17 points and 10 rebounds. As a team, the Green and White shot just 28.6 percent from the floor, while MSU converted field goals at a 40.6 clip. Free throw shooting kept EMU within striking distance throughout the game, as the Eagles converted 25-of-33 attempts from the charity stripe. Defensively, Eastern held a 57-44 advantage on the glass. The 57 boards marked the most by EMU since Jan. 13, 2016 when Eastern grabbed a season-high 60 caroms against Ohio University. From the opening tip, Morehead State used its speed and physical play to dictate the pace of the game. MSU broke off an 8-0 run over the first 2:19 of action, while forcing the Green and White into three turnovers. Taking a timeout to regroup, Eastern came out of the break and drew a MSU foul, giving EMU possession under its own basket. Deans provided the spark off the bench, sinking a three on the inbounds before taking it to the basket to pull EMU within six, 11-5. Corralling the defensive rebound, Deans ran the floor ultimately laying it in for two. After a free throw, the offenses on both sides stalled. EMU went 0-for-9, while MSU went 0-for-8 over a 4:27 span. The Green and White broke through after freshman Rebecca Turney secured a steal and Deans hit a triple to level the score at 11. Morehead State regained the lead with a jumper, ending a five-minute scoring drought but junior Micah Robinson sank a mid-range shot from the baseline to even the score at 13. MSU ran out to a 21-19 lead in the second quarter, at which point the Green and White offense began to attack the rim. Driving to the hoop, Eastern opened up the mid-range game and worked its way to the free throw line to take a 28-23 edge. Heading into the media timeout up five, Morehead State closed the quarter on a 6-3 run, leaving the score tied at 34 at halftime. 11 unanswered points by Morehead State to begin the third quarter force EMU to burn a timeout with 4:43 remaining. Eastern connected on just 10 percent of its shots (2-for-20) in the period, while Morehead State shot at 69.2 clip, allowing MSU to hold a 59-44 edge with 10 minutes to play. The Green and White staged a comeback in the fourth quarter, making its way to the free throw line and taking it to the MSU defense. Eastern went 10-of-10 from the line in the final period, while outscoring Morehead State, 29-19, but came up short. Webb hit a layup with 1:34 left in regulation to cut MSU’s lead to 70-67, but Morehead converted clutch free throws down the stretch to hand EMU the 78-73 setback.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team opened its 2016-17 home schedule with a 68-50 non-conference victory over Ferris State University Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 16, inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (2-1, 0-0 MAC) were led offensively by junior Sasha Dailey who had a game-high 28 points and nine rebounds, finishing just shy of a doubledouble. Redshirt junior Ashley Nickens scored her first points as an Eagle, finishing with a career-best 12, while junior Micah Robinson was the other EMU player in double figures with 10. Freshman Becca Turney had a career game as well, finishing with career-highs in both rebounds and blocks, tallying 12 and five, respectively. Turney’s five rejections were the most by an Eagle this season and tied for seventh-most in single-game history. Additionally, she is just the second Eagle to record five or more blocks in a game since 2003. As a team, EMU was fierce on the defensive end, totaling seven blocks, and 11 steals, which turned into 24 of EMU’s 68 points. The Eagles held the Bulldogs without a double-digit scorer as well. Offensively, EMU out-scored FSU by a 44-28 margin in the paint and 40-25 off the bench. Eastern started out with the first six points of the contest with three points each from Robinson and Dailey, but the Bulldogs rattled off five straight of their own to make it 6-5 at the seven minute mark. A layup from Dailey and back-to-back buckets from Nickens made the tally 12-9 into the media timeout. Out of the break, EMU went on a 9-2 run to jump ahead 21-11 at the 2:30 mark. Dailey contributed five points on the run, including the first three-ball of the game for the Eagles. FSU responded toward the end of the first with 7-2 run of their own to cut the score to 23-18 at the end of one. The Bulldogs hit a pair of shots to begin the second to make it a three-point game, but Turney laid one in right after to stop the bleeding and make the score 25-20 with just under nine minutes until the half. Both offenses went cold for the next two plus minutes, keeping the five point game until 6:20 when a Nickens layup and Dailey three-pointer made it 30-22. EMU and FSU traded baskets the rest of the way, and at the half, Eastern led by seven, 36-29. After the break, Eastern held Ferris State without points until the eight minute mark and without a field goal until 7:30 to go. Meanwhile, EMU only got a pair of buckets themselves and led 42-32 at the under seven minute point. The lead remained at 10 until about 3:30 when Eastern began to pull away. Dailey free throws, followed by a layup by Robinson got things started. Then, after two more buckets from Dailey, Eastern found themselves up 52-37. After an Eastern timeout with a minute left, junior Tori Easley nailed a shot to give Eastern its biggest lead, 54-37. FSU then hit a three at the buzzer to make it 54-40 into the fourth quarter. Eastern got one free throw to start the final frame, but Ferris State hit another three and got a free throw to cut their deficit to 11. The Eagles responded immediately, rattling off the next eight points on layups from four different players, and extending the lead to 61-44 with three minutes to play. With the 17 point lead, the Eagles coated down the stretch, leading by as many as 20, and finishing with the 18-point win, 68-50.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (EMUEagles.com) -- Fourteen seconds remained in the third game of the UTSA Thanksgiving Classic Sunday afternoon, Nov. 27, with the Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team clinging to a three-point lead, 57-54, and the University of Northern Colorado inbounding the ball following a timeout. After the inbound, UNC’s Savannah Smith drilled a three-pointer and was fouled with eight seconds to go. Smith sank the pressure-packed free throw attempt to put the Bears up a point.

Junior Sasha Dailey led the way for the Eagles as three players scored more than 10-points.

The Bears raced out to an early 6-0 edge before Deans rolled off six consecutive points to knot the score with 7:01 left in the first quarter. EMU’s momentum was short lived, however, as the UNC pushed the margin to as many as nine, 18-9, on a Kianna Williams layup at the 1:31 mark of the first quarter. Eastern Michigan turned up its defensive intensity in the second quarter, holding Northern Colorado to just 2-of-15 shooting in the stanza. The Green and White would outscore the opposition, 10-5, as UNC was held scoreless for the final 4:11 of the half. The teams headed to the lockerroom at the break with UNC leading 25-23.

UNC would answer back as the score was tied at 40 to close out the quarter. An offensive surge quickly pushed the EMU lead to nine, 53-44, on the strength of a pair of triples from Dailey and junior Tori Easley. Things were looking bleak for the Bears, however a 10-3 run was capped by a pair of Savannah Scott charity tosses at the 1:07 mark to make it a one possession game.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (EMUEagles.com) -- The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team wrapped up its three-game stint in the Lone Star State with a 66-47 win Tuesday, Nov. 29, over the University of Incarnate Word at the McDermott Convocation Center. The win moved EMU to a 3-4 on the season, while the Cardinals fell to 0-5. Led by junior Sasha Dailey’s 16 first half points, the Eagles jumped out to a commanding 31-21 halftime lead. Dailey shot an impressive 5-for-9 from the floor in the opening stanza, including 5-of-7 from beyond the arc. The Toledo, Ohio product finished with seven makes from distance, a tally that is tied for fifth-most in EMU single-game history. The last Eagle to do so was Tavelyn James, when she set the program-record with 10 treys against Kent State University, Feb. 11, 2012. Senior Phillis Webb just missed a double-double with 11 points and nine rebounds in the victory. Sheyna Deans and Tori Easley also reach double figures in points with 11 and 10, respectively. Junior Micah Robinson anchored a stingy Eagles’ defense with 11 rebounds to go along with five assists. The Eagles picked up a 24-12 advantage in the paint, 13-8 advantage on second chance points, 8-0 advantage on fast break points, 7-3 advantage on bench points and a 50-39 rebounding advantage. Shooting woes plagued the Cardinals as UIW shot just 27.0 percent from the field. In stark comparison, the Eagles shot 40.3 percent from the floor, including 52.9 percent in the first quarter, and secured an early 22-8 advantage after one period. The Cardinals held Eastern Michigan to only nine points in the second quarter on 21.4 percent from the floor. Despite poor shooting, the Eagles capitalized on a 28-19 rebounding edge to take a 31-21 advantage into the break. Eastern Michigan charged out of the locker room in the second half and pushed their lead to as many as 27 points before both sides cleared their respective benches in the fourth quarter.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team fell at home against the University of Detroit Mercy Tuesday night, Dec. 6, by a final tally of 77-64. The Titans (4-5) used a strong day at the charity stripe to overcome the Eagles (3-5), as fouls kept the Green and White from building any momentum. The Eagles shot 22-of-68 (32.4 percent) from the field throughout the game, including a pair of three pointers. Eastern came out on top in the rebound battle, 47-41, and dominated on the offensive boards by a 16-6 margin. The Green and White notched 34 points in the paint compared to Detroit’s 26, in addition to holding an advantage in second chance points, 13-2. Individually, junior Sasha Dailey had a strong game, scoring 31 points, tying her career high, on 13-of-26 shooting, including a 2-of-6 showing from deep. Fellow junior Micah Robinson kicked in a career-high 16 points, four rebounds, and two assists, while senior Phillis Webb totaled 10 points and 12 rebounds for her second double-double of the season. Finally, junior Tori Easley brought down a career-best 11 rebounds. Dailey got the scoring started for EMU, drilling a three-pointer within the first minute to take a quick 3-1 lead. The Titans then scored seven unanswered to open a five-point lead, 8-3, after EMU’s offense struggled to find a rhythm. Dailey broke the dry spell for the Green and White, sinking a tough layup, which was followed by another layup from Robinson. Detroit, however, continued to excel on the offensive end, and led 17-7 with 4:35 left in the first quarter. Robinson stayed hot offensively, sinking a layup through traffic to pull EMU within seven, 19-12. Webb then sank a pair at the line, keeping the margin at seven, 21-14, with just over a minute remaining in the quarter. Redshirt junior Ashley Nickens closed out the first quarter with a layup at the buzzer, but the Eagles trailed by 10, 26-16, at the end of the first. Easley opened the second quarter with a quick bucket, pulling EMU back within single digits, 26-18. From there, a Webb bucket made the score 26-20, after which neither team was able to score for a few possessions. Robinson then knocked down her third shot of the game to get things moving again with 7:10 on the clock. Shortly after, Dailey knocked down a tough jumper and was fouled in the process. After Dailey converted the free throw, the Green and White were within one, 27-26, with just over five minutes remaining in the half. Minutes later, Easley then made a nice play on the defensive end, swatting away a UDM shot with EMU down by three, 31-28. The Titans went on a quick run to go up by seven, 37-30, before Robinson came to the rescue with a slick drive to the basket. At the conclusion of the first half, the Eagles trailed Detroit, 41-32. After a pair of free throws by UDM, Dailey responded with a layup to kick start the Green and White offense. Dailey also scored on the next possession, but the Green and White still trailed by nine, 45-36. The trend continued form there, as she knocked down a jumper for her eighth field goal of the game. After a basket from Webb, Dailey took over yet again, driving through traffic and laying it in to put EMU back within four, 46-42. Detroit then scored two straight baskets, pushing their lead back to eight, 50-42. After Robinson nailed a pair from the charity stripe, the Titans responded with a basket of their own. Detroit then scored six unanswered points, pushing their lead back to 12, 56-44, with 3:16 left in the third. Freshman Becca Turney earned a trip to the line, sinking both to make the score 58-46, but the Eagles entered the final frame trailing by 12, 60-48. Dailey continued her high-scoring game with another basket, pulling EMU within 10, 60-50, before UDM scored three straight baskets, pushing its lead back to 16, 66-50. With two bigs fouled out of the game for the Eagles, senior Melva Smith made her career debut. Smith finished the game with three rebounds in the contest. Free throws down the stretch cut into UDM’s advantage but it was too little too late for EMU as the Eagles fell, 77-64.

The defense also keyed in on the SBU attack, holding the Bonnies to just 35.1 percent (20-of-57) from the floor, highlighted by a second half in which SBU hit at just a 21.4 clip. In addition to the career-high, Robinson also notched four assists, and finished a career-best 11-of-13 from the line.

Deans was one rebound shy of the double-double, finishing with a team-high nine boards, while junior Sasha Dailey had a season-high five assists and nine points. St. Bonaventure raced ahead early, 8-0, before a three-ball from Webb got EMU on the board. Midway through first quarter, the Bonnies held a 12-9 lead. EMU cut it to one, before SBU scored the next seven to retake an eight point lead. Right before the end of the first period, freshman Esabelle Levine hit a layup to make the score 19-13 after the first quarter. Back-to-back layups got EMU within two out of the break, before the Bonnies nailed a three to make it 22-17. Eastern then hit the next two three's from Robinson and Dailey to give them their first lead of the game, 23-22, at the seven minute mark. Dailey and SBU then traded three, three pointers in a row over the next minute, and at the six minute mark, SBU led 28-26. The lead grew to six over the next two minutes until a free throw and three pointer from Deans made it 34-32 SBU with two minutes until the half. 30 seconds later Deans nailed a jumper to tie the game, but SBU answered with a layup to make it 36-34. Right before the half, Eastern hit a free throw to make the tally 36-35 into the half. Out of the half, junior Tori Easley laid in a bucket to give Eastern the brief lead before SBU hit two free throws and a three to go back up four. After a minute of back and forth missed shots, Robinson nailed her second three to cut it back to one, 41-40, at 6:21. After a timeout, EMU forced a turnover that turned into more points after a foul. Robinson nailed both freebies, giving EMU their third lead of the game, 42-41, with six minutes left in the third quarter. EMU and SBU traded to keep it a one point game until the four minute mark. At that point, Robinson went up for her third three, but was fouled on the way up, and she nailed all three free throws to give Eastern a 47-43 advantage. SBU answered with a layup, but Webb had the response with her second three ball of the game, giving Eastern its biggest lead, 50-45, with three and a half minutes to go. Coming out of another timeout, Robinson hit a layup to match her career high in points with 16, and extended the Eagles' game-high lead to seven, 52-45. The Eagles couldn't begin to pull away though, as SBU made the next five points before the end of the third to set up a three point game, 52-49, going into the final period. The Eagles raced out in the fourth, scoring the first seven to gain a 10 point advantage, led by Webb's three pointer to force a SBU timeout. EMU maintained a steady lead over the next three minutes, led by another three pointer by Webb to get her into double figures. At the five minute mark, Eastern still led by 10. From there, EMU closed out the game at the free throw line as the Bonnies could not get within any more than nine and EMU coasted to the 19-point victory.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team came up just short in a bout with Monmouth University Monday night, Dec. 12, falling by a final tally of 75-68. The Eagles mounted a late rally to take the lead with just over five minutes left after trailing by as many 15 points, but the Hawks closed out strong to escape with the victory. The Eagles finished the game 22-of-68 from the field (32.4 percent), and 7-of-23 (30.4 percent) from deep. The squad controlled fastbreak points by a 10-2 margin, while also nabbing a total of 14 steals throughout the game. On the other side, Monmouth shot 27-of-66 from the field, draining 13 three-pointers. The Hawks also controlled the rebounding battle, 54-37, and held a 52-9 edge in bench scoring. Individually, junior Sasha Dailey led the way with 19 points, including two threes, in addition to six steals, four rebounds, and three assists. Fellow junior Micah Robinson was just behind her with 18 points in her third consecutive double digit scoring effort. Robinson converted with a pair from downtown, and added five boards, four assists, and three steals. Robinson was also effective from the line, sinking eight free throws. Senior Sheyna Deans was also in double digits, scoring 10 points, along with three rebounds, two assists, and two steals. The Hawks were the first on the board, sinking a layup to take an early 2-0 lead. EMU's offense struggled to find a rhythm in the opening minutes, forcing the Green and White to call a timeout behind 4-0 at the 7:16 mark. Dailey got the Eagles on the board, swiping the ball and converting the layup on the other end to make the score 4-2 before a three from Robinson gave EMU the 5-4 lead, but Monmouth quickly responded to retake the lead, 8-5. Dailey then nailed a three to tie it up at eight, but the Hawks drained a three of their own to go ahead 11-8. A nice feed from Robinson to Dailey in transition pulled EMU within three, 13-10, before the Hawks answered again to regain a five-point lead, 15-10, heading into the second quarter. After getting fouled on an attempt from behind the arc, freshman Esabelle Levine nailed all three from the line, after which freshman Naliah Mitchell sunk the first three-pointer of her career to give EMU a one point advantage, 16-15. The Hawks scored five straight to retake the lead, 21-16. After another Monmouth basket, EMU called a timeout, trailing 24-16 with 6:46 left in the second. Monmouth stretched its lead to double digits before a bucket by Deans and a jumper by junior Tori Easley cut the Hawks' lead at eight, 28-20. Robinson followed by converting a tough layup down low, but Monmouth responded again with another three, making the score 31-22. Neither team could get much going heading into the final few minutes of the quarter, as the score stood at 31-24 with 1:30 remaining in the half. After a three from the Hawks, Easley knocked down another layup, making the score 34-26 with 23 seconds to go until the break. MU tacked on a three late in the period, ultimately taking a 37-26 lead into halftime. Dailey scored the Eagles first four points of the half to cut the deficit to 10, 40-30. As EMU's offense stalled, Monmouth pushed its lead to 15, 46-31, with 4:56 to go in the third. Robinson broke the cold streak for the Eagles, drilling a jumper to make the score 46-33 before Deans picked the Hawks' pocket, and made a layup on the other end. After another EMU steal, senior Phillis Webb drove the lane and converted the layup, getting fouled in the process. She nailed the free throw, pulling the Green and White within 12, 50-38, near the end of the third. Robinson sank a pair of free throws before Levine kept the momentum rolling in favor of the Eagles, pulling EMU within seven. The Hawks added a bucket late in the period to extend their lead to nine, 52-43, with 10 minutes left. The fourth quarter began with Deans scoring on back-to-back jumpers, making the score 52-47. Following a free throw from Dailey, Eastern continued attacking, with Easley making a pair at the line to put the score at 55-52 with 6:43 remaining. Another trip to the charity stripe pulled the Eagles within one, 55-54, as Robinson added two free throws of her own. Dailey downed a tough layup and capped the three-point play at the line to give EMU a 57-56 lead, its first since the 8:58 mark in the second quarter. Eastern Michigan's edge was short lived however, as Monmouth rattled off five straight points to run ahead, 62-57. Coming off a timeout, Dailey drilled her second three of the game to come within two, 62-60. After a Monmouth basket, Webb made a three of her own to make the score 64-63. The teams continued trading baskets, as the Hawks made another three, and Robinson converted two more free throws. With just 1:22 left in the game, Eastern trailed by four, 69-65. Out of an EMU timeout, the Hawks grabbed an offensive rebound and sunk the putback, pushing their lead to six, 71-65, with 25 seconds remaining. A triple by Robinson brought the Eagles back within five, but Monmouth extended its lead from the free throw line, eventually handing EMU a 75-68 setback.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team traveled to West Lafayette, Ind. to take on Purdue University Saturday, Dec. 17, inside Mackey Arena. The Eagles (4-7, 0-0 MAC) hung tough early but the Boilermakers (9-4, 0-0 B1G) proved to be too much too handle as EMU fell by a final score of 77-50. As a team the Eagles shot 34.0 percent from the field, converting 18-of-53 attempts, including just 3-of-12 from distance.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team opened Mid-American Conference play on the road Saturday afternoon, Dec. 31, against the Huskies of Northern Illinois University at NIU's Convocation Center. The Eagles (5-8, 0-1 MAC) trailed by as many as 23 in the contest but a fourth quarter surge fell short as NIU (8-4, 1-0 MAC) handed EMU an 85-73 setback. As a team, the Eagles struggled offensively, connecting on just 39.7 percent of their shots from the floor. Miscues compounded EMU's shooting woes, as the Green and White turned the ball over 16 times. Meanwhile, NIU converted 45.1 of its shots from the field, including six three-pointers, and coughed the ball up 15 times, 10 of which came in the second half. Senior Phillis Webb turned in a career-day for the Eagles, picking up her ninth career double-double in the loss. Webb finished the day with a career-high 30 points, becoming just the second Eagle to score 30-or-more points in a game this season. The Brooklyn Park, Minn. product was also EMU's top rebounder, grabbing 14 boards to secure the double-double. Juniors Micah Robinson and Sasha Dailey also reached double digits in scoring, pouring in 16 and 11 points, respectively. Robinson scored 12 of her 16 points in the second half, while adding in a team-high five assists and two steals. Dailey chipped in four assists and two steals to round out her stat line. EMU's stingy man-to-man defense caused NIU fits early on as the Huskies started the day 0-for-5 from the floor. Feeding off the defense, the Eagles opened up a 4-3 lead on buckets by Dailey before the Huskies found their stride, eventually taking a 10-8 lead into the first media timeout with 4:47 to go in the first quarter. Dailey pulled the Eagles within one, knocking down EMU's first triple of the game with 3:54 to play, to cut NIU's edge to 12-11. From there, Webb sank a pullup jumper to make the score, 16-15, with less than a minute to go. The next time down the floor the Green and White forced an NIU miscue and walked the ball up the court looking to take the lead in the final possession of the frame. With the shot clock off, NIU double teamed Robinson at the top of the key and forced a turnover, taking it coast-to-coast at the buzzer. The lay-in as time expired gave Northern Illinois a three-point, 18-15, lead through 10 minutes of action. Eastern scored first in the second quarter as Easley tracked down a loose ball on an in-bounds and found Webb wide open for a baseline three-pointer. Sinking the triple, Webb leveled the score at 18 all before a quick four-point run by the Huskies had the Eagles trailing, 22-18. Despite a three-point play by Webb, NIU extended its lead to seven, 30-21, halfway through the frame behind an 8-0 run that spanned nearly three minutes. Robinson converted a pair from the line to cut NIU's advantage to seven but the Huskies came right back with a deep three-pointer to push its edge to 33-23 with 2:30 to go in the half as EMU's offensive woes continued. Eastern Michigan coughed up the ball eight times in the second quarter, allowing the Northern Illinois to take a 41-26 lead in the locker room at halftime. In the second half, the Huskies extended their lead to as many as 23, eventually taking a 65-46 lead into the final stanza. Eastern mounted a comeback in the fourth quarter, pulling within single digits with less than a minute to go behind 10 points by Robinson and eight points by Webb, but ultimately fell short, 85-73.

OXFORD, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team's conference struggles continued Wednesday night, Jan 11, as the Eagles (5-11, 0-4 MAC) dropped its fourth consecutive Mid-American Conference contest to Miami University. The Green and White trailed by as many as 14 before cutting the deficit to two, but the RedHawks (7-10, 1-3 MAC) closed out the contest at the free throw line to hand EMU a 72-60 loss. Senior Sheyna Deans pieced together a career night to pace the Eagles, finishing with a career-high 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting, including a career-high-tying two three-pointers. The Detroit native also added seven rebounds, two assists, and a steal. Senior Phillis Webb also reached double figures, pouring in 17 points and grabbing a game-high nine rebounds. As a team the Eagles cooled off after a hot start, finishing 21-of-66 from the field, converting just 31.8 percent of their shots. EMU showed significant improvements at the free throw line, knocking down 70 percent (14-of-20) of its shot from the stripe. Miami went 25-of-68 on the evening, good for 36.8 percent, but used 10 three-pointers to take down the Eagles. Deans scored seven of the Eagles' first 10 points over the first five minutes of the opening period. After hitting a pair of short jumpers, Deans knocked down a triple, before finding junior Micah Robinson for a three-pointer and 10-8 EMU lead midway through the period. Out of the game's first media timeout, Webb pulled up for a jumper from the elbow to extend Eastern's edge to four, 12-8. Miami cut the EMU lead to one before Robinson hit a pair of free throws and Webb knocked down another mid-range shot to keep the Eagle advantage at four, 17-13, with 1:45 to go in the frame.

Miami came out much more aggressive in the second quarter, driving the lane and adding a three-pointer to pull the RedHawks within one, 23-22, with 8:26 to go in the half. Junior Sasha Dailey ended the quick 5-0 run by MU with a steal and easy lay-in to get EMU back on track, but it was only temporary as a triple gave Miami at 28-27 lead at the media timeout. Over the next five minutes the squads traded baskets, leaving the score level at 31 as EMU Head Coach Fred Castro called a timeout with 2:05 remaining before the break. Eastern Michigan closed out the half amid a two and a half minute stretch in which the Eagles' only point came via a Webb free throw, allowing Miami to take a 33-32 lead into the locker room. The EMU offense was ice cold in the third quarter, missing its first seven shots of the half. Meanwhile, MU converted four shots from the field, including two from behind the arc to take a 43-32 lead at the 4:19 mark. With foul trouble forcing Dailey to the bench, the Eagles looked to a pair of freshmen in Esabelle Levine and Nailah Mitchell to provide quality minutes of the bench.

The RedHawks answered, rattling off seven consecutive points to take a 62-55 lead with just under four minutes remaining. Eastern hung around late, keeping the game within two possessions but the RedHawks closed out the contest at the free throw line, eventually handing the Eagles a 72-61 setback.

MUNCIE, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) – A slow start was too much to overcome, as the Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team suffered a 78-49 setback at the hands of Ball State University Wednesday evening, Jan. 18, at John E. Worthen Arena in Muncie, Ind. As a team Eastern Michigan shot 29.3 percent from the field, converting just 17-of-58 field goal attempts. The Green and White finished 3-of-20 from distance and 12-of-18 from the charity stripe. Ball State on the other hand, converted shots at a 43.1 percent clip, including 61.5 (8-of-13) from beyond the arc.

Junior Sasha Dailey finished with 13 points as the only other Eagle to reach double digits. Dailey also tallied a team-high four steals. Meanwhile, senior Phillis Webb flirted with a double-double, posting a team-high nine rebounds to go along with eight points. The Eagles struck first, with Dailey knocking down a jumper from the free throw line, but the Cardinals came back with an 11-2 run to cancel out EMU's only lead of the game. Ball State's offense continued to click, forcing EMU to call a timeout, trailing 17-4, with 5:45 to go in the opening period. Neither team could find much offensively out of the media timeout as the score remained deadlocked at 17-4 until the four minute mark. Back-to-back baskets by the Cardinals pushed the score to 21-4, bringing about another EMU timeout at which point the Eagles turned to their bench. Freshmen Becca Turney and Jayla Russ checked into the game at the break, as the Eagles turned to use their size to slow down BSU. The substitutions allowed the Green and White to body up down low and Dailey took advantage. The Toledo, Ohio product swiped a pair of passes while doubling the Cardinals' bigs, kick starting the Eastern offense. Despite buckets by Dailey and junior Micah Robinson, the Eagles trailed 26-9 at the end of the first quarter.

Trailing 33-12 with 4:13 to go in the half, the Green and White answered a pair of free throws with back-to-back pull-up jumpers from Deans. EMU's momentum was quickly stalled however, as BSU converted a three-point play to keep its edge at 22, 38-16. The stingy defense of the Cardinals held the Eagles to their lowest point total in a half this season, as Eastern went to the locker room trailing, 46-20. The Eagles converted just 30.8 percent of their shots in the first half, while the Cardinals were 15-of-34 from the field and 4-of-5 from deep. EMU's shooting struggles extended to the free throw line, where it hit just 3-of-6 attempts compared to BSU's 12-of-16 showing from the stripe. In the second half, Eastern Michigan's shooting woes continued as Ball State extended its lead to as many as 44. The Eagles chipped away in the fourth quarter, but it was too little too late as the Eagles fell, 78-49.

ATHENS, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team hung tough with Ohio University early on in a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional contest Saturday, Jan. 21, but faded in a 68-51 loss at OU's Convocation Center. Eastern shot 28.8 from the field, connecting on 19-of-66 attempts from the field, while Ohio used six three-pointers and a 38.1 field goal percentage to top the Eagles. Junior Micah Robinson and senior Sheyna Deans posted double digit scoring efforts for the Eagles. Robinson turned in a team-high 16 points, including a 2-of-3 showing from three-point range. Deans added 11 points, all of which came in the second half, while falling just short of a double-double with nine rebounds. Fellow senior Phillis Webb also came close to a double-double, grabbing a team-high 10 rebounds to go along with nine points. A three-pointer by Webb sparked the Eagles midway through the first quarter, pulling the Green and White within six, 11-5, at the first media timeout. Building off the momentum of Webb's triple, EMU forced an OU miscue on the other end of the floor. Keeping pace with the Bobcats for the remainder of the period, the Eagles trailed, 17-11, through 10 minutes of play. Eastern Michigan tightened up on defense in the second period, holding the Bobcats to just four field goals in the frame. Webb broke the quarter open with a jumper to get the Eagles going. The Minnesota native then swiped a pass and slung a pass down court to junior Tori Easley for a layup in transition, before Robinson drove to the hoop for two, bringing EMU within a basket. Trailing 19-17, the Eagles traded free throws with the Bobcats, leaving the score 20-18 in favor the Ohio with five minutes to go. After five straight points by OU forced an EMU timeout, Sasha Dailey swiped a pass and took it all the way for an easy lay-in. A pair of Ohio free throws had Eastern trailing by nine, but Robinson sank a baseline jumper with seconds remaining to bring the Eagles within seven, 29-22, at the half. Ohio ran out to a 13-point lead in the third quarter as the Eagles' offense struggled. Amid a 6-0 run by OU, Robinson slipped a pass into Webb in the post. Immediately double teamed down low, Webb kicked it out to Easley for a 15-footer for EMU's first points of the second half. The jumper did little to quiet the Bobcats as Ohio extended its lead to as many as 15, before Deans scored her first points of the afternoon to cut the deficit to 41-26. Providing the Eagles with solid minutes of the bench, freshman Nailah Mitchell grabbed three boards over the course of a minute and a half to try and spark the Green and White offense. Pulling down her second consecutive offensive board, Mitchell was fouled on the way back up, earning a trip to the free throw line. Mitchell split a pair from the charity stripe, spelling another EMU scoring drought. For the remainder of the period, Ohio responded to every EMU basket, giving the Bobcats a 48-30 lead going into the final stanza. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles went basket-for-basket with the Bobcats before rattling off seven unanswered points. Locking in defensively, the Green and White held Ohio without a point for three minutes to cut OU's advantage to 15 with two minutes to play. EMU's late push was not enough to overcome the Bobcats' best offensive frame of the game, as the Eagles fell, 68-51.

Despite the push by Eastern, EMU trailed, 15-11, at the end of the first quarter. Trading makes to start the second quarter, Easley went to work. Bodying up the BGSU bigs and controlling the game down low, the Toledo, Ohio native knocked down a couple of shots to keep EMU within striking distance. Easley earned a well-deserved breather with the BGSU posts out of the game in foul trouble, and EMU turned to the play of its guards. Deans drove the lane for a quick bucket in transition, and Robinson connected with Webb on the backdoor cut for another wide open layup to level the score at 21. A triple put Bowling Green back up by three, 24-21, but EMU came right back with a left-handed lay-in by freshman Becca Turney to cut the deficit to one at the media timeout with 4:41 left in the half. Out of the break, BGSU rattled off a 10-2 run to push its lead to as many as nine, eventually carrying a 36-29 advantage into the locker room at halftime. EMU's senior duo of Deans and Webb caught fire in the third period, scoring all 10 of Eastern's points to bring the Eagles within one possession. With Bowling Green's offense in a rut, going just 2-for-10, Eastern Michigan cut the score to 44-41, at the media timeout. A pick-and-roll from Mitchell to Easley brought the Green and White within one, 44-43. The next time down the floor, Robinson pushed the pace after corralling a defensive rebound, ultimately picking up a foul to put EMU into the bonus. Cashing in at the line, Robinson's pair of free throws gave the Eagles their first lead of the game, 45-44. Bowling Green regained the lead in the final minute, but it was short lived. In what looked like a quarter-ending turnover, an incredible hustle play by Mitchell put Eastern back in front. Tracking down a loose ball just inside midcourt, Mitchell gained control and banked in a buzzer-beating triple to give EMU the one point edge, 48-47, with one quarter to go. The Green and White broke the final stanza open with a 6-0 run, kick started by another backdoor bucket, this one by Deans. From there, Webb took over. Grabbing a pair of rebounds and going coast-to-coast for a layup and mid-range jumper, Webb extended EMU's lead to seven, 54-47, its largest of the evening with eight minutes remaining. Following a timeout, the Falcons settled into a groove, pulling within one, before Deans slung a pass to Webb for a baseline triple. Over the next few minutes the MAC foes exchanged baskets, leaving EMU with a 59-57 lead at the 4:01 mark. Bowling Green evened the score at 59, sinking a putback with just over three minutes to play. A trio of free throws from Webb allowed the Eagles to keep pace with Falcons and gain a two point lead, 62-60, with 1:15 left in the frame. Using a high screen from Easley, Deans took some contact and hit a running jumper, doubling Eastern's lead. BGSU responded with a quick bucket and immediately called a timeout with 43.9 ticks on the clock. The Falcons swiped a steal, earning a trip to the free throw line. Splitting a pair at the stripe, BGSU fouled Robinson on the ensuing inbounds. The Ann Arbor, Mich. native converted 1-of-2 at the line, giving EMU a 65-63 edge with 24.4 seconds. The junior point guard came up huge for the Eagles on the other end, as BGSU looked for the game-tying bucket. Working through a plethora of screens, Robinson stepped in front of a pass and forced a turnover. Unfortunately, Robinson's defensive play was for naught, as an EMU miscue sent BGSU to the free throw line. Converting two pressure free throws, Bowling Green evened the score at 65. With Deans and Webb both fouled out, Robinson got the nod, but her shot fell short, sending the game into overtime. In the overtime period, the Eagles attacked the Falcons' defense. Eastern Michigan cashed in at the free throw line, knocking down 8-of-10 freebies to take a 73-68 lead with just over two minutes to go. The Falcons hit the first field goal of extra time, but it did not matter. One of two juniors on the floor aside three freshman, Robinson showed tremendous poise down the stretch to help the Eagles close out the contest at the line, sealing an 81-74 victory for EMU.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University women's basketball senior Phillis Webb continued her assault on the EMU record books Saturday, Feb. 4 against Central Michigan University, as she moved ever closer to 1,000 points and 700 rebounds in her career. Entering the game needing 32 points and 12 rebounds to surpass each distinguished mark, Webb posted 13 and 11 to inch ever closer. Overall, it was the 11th double-double of her career, a total that ranks 10th in program-history. EMU could not slow down the high-powered Chippewa offense, as CMU notched a 104-63 victory at the Convocation Center. Central, which drilled nine three-pointers on the afternoon, used a 21-6 run midway through second quarter to build a lead they would never surrender. With the loss Eastern Michigan drops to 6-16 (1-8 MAC), while Central Michigan improved its mark to 16-6 (8-2 MAC). Playing with a limited bench of just eight dressed players, EMU was led by Sasha Dailey with 25 points on 10-of-25 shooting to go along four triples. Micah Robinson chipped in 11 points and a career-high 10 while Tori Easley had her first career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. CMU, which entered the contest ranked 35th nationally in scoring offense, put six players in double figures, led by Tinara Moore with 27 points and 13 rebounds. Reyna Frost added 15 points while four other Chippewas added 10. The Chips set the nets on fire, hitting 52.5 percent (42-for-80) from the field, while EMU managed a 34.7 percent (26-for-75) clip. Additionally, Central scored 30 points off of second chance opportunities. After a quick three-pointer by CMU to open the scoring, each side was efficient from the field, combining to make seven of the first nine shots. Presley Hudson pushed the Chippewas' edge to six, 12-6, at the 6:23 mark, however, Webb and Easley promptly answered with a score of her own to keep the Eagles within striking distance. The lead would grow to as many as nine, 20-11, on a Moore jumper with 1:10 showing on the first quarter clock. EMU finished the stanza just 1-for-6 breaking the seal on the bucket just once over the final 4:10 of the quarter. EMU tried to be aggressive and drive against the CMU defense, which entered the game giving up an average of 69.9 points per contest, but were whistled for its third charge of the game just 37 seconds into the second quarter. Jewel Cotton's made the mistake count as her layup at the 8:19 mark pushed it 24-13 in favor of the visitors and forced Head Coach Fred Castro to call a timeout. Dailey did her best to keep her team in it with all 10 of EMU's points in the second quarter. The high-octane offense of CMU outscored EMU 21-6 over the final 7:10, as the lead grew to 24, 47-23, at the half. The Maroon and Gold, which scored 32 points in the paint, were paced by a double-double by Moore with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Dailey keyed EMU with 12 points to go along with six from her high school teammate Easley. Following the break, Central Michigan used a balanced effort to convert on seven of its first eight shots to push the margin to 38, 69-31, at the five minute mark of the third quarter. Despite scoring 23 points in the third, EMU was unable to get any closer than 36 points the remainder of the game. The 23 point output was tied for the fourth highest output by Eastern in a quarter in 2016-17.

KENT, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – Senior Phillis Webb became just the seventh player in Eastern Michigan University women's basketball history to grab 700 rebounds and score 1,000 points in their career in EMU's loss to Kent State University Wednesday night, Feb. 8, at the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center. The Eagles (6-17, 1-10 MAC) hung with the Golden Flashes (13-11, 7-5 MAC) early, but could not keep pace with a second half surge by KSU, eventually falling, 83-65. As a team EMU finished the night 23-of-61 from the field and converted 40.0 percent (4-of-10) of its shots from beyond the arc. KSU held the edge on offense, knocking down 50.0 percent (30-of-60) of its shots from the field, highlighted by eight triples. Webb led the Eagles with 21 points and seven rebounds, while junior Sasha Dailey also finished in double figures. Dailey poured in 13 points and added a team-high eight rebounds. Jordan Korinek led the Flashes with a season-best 28 points while teammate Larissa Lurken chipped in 22. Turnovers dictated the tone early on, as a pair of Kent State miscues allowed the Eagles to gain a 2-0 edge in the opening minutes. The Golden Flashes came right back, scoring seven consecutive points on three EMU turnovers, to gain a 7-2 lead at the six minute mark. Over the next six minutes the two squads traded leads, with neither team leading by more than three. A triple by freshman Esabelle Levine gave Eastern Michigan a 15-14 lead with less than a minute to go in the period, but KSU closed out the quarter with a pair of free throws to take a 16-15 lead. Fouls piled up for the Green and White in the second quarter, forcing EMU Head Coach Fred Castro to use a revolving door of substitutions as the offense stalled. The Eagles began the frame 0-for-4 from the floor over the first five minutes of the frame, allowing Kent State to take its largest lead of the game, 22-16. Out of the media timeout, Levine got the Eagles rolling with another corner trey and redshirt junior Ashley Nickens kept things going with a jumper to bring EMU within one, 22-21, with 4:41 to play. That was as close as EMU would get in the first half, as KSU's Korinek scored nine points over the final four minutes of the frame to carry a 34-26 edge into the locker room. Kent State jumped out to a 41-28 lead over the first two minutes of the second half, forcing the Eagles to call an early timeout. Offenses started clicking out of the break, as Dailey hit a pull-up jumper, before going inside out to senior Sheyna Deans for a three-pointer to keep pace with the Golden Flashes, but EMU still faced a double digit deficit at the media timeout. Behind the play of Dailey, Eastern Michigan cut the deficit to as few as seven. First assisting on a layup by Webb, Dailey then swiped a pass and dished to junior Micah Robinson for a quick bucket, before scoring four consecutive points to make the score 55-48. KSU closed the frame on a 4-0 run, leaving the Eagles trailing by 11, 59-48, with 10 minutes to play. In the fourth quarter, Kent State extended its lead to 20 behind a 13-0 run over a three-minute span that included the final minute of the third period to bring about an EMU timeout. Trailing 68-48, the Eagles had no response for KSU's hot offense. The Golden Flashes went 8-of-12 from the floor in the final stanza, eventually handing the Eagles an 83-65 setback.

The Eagles shot 38.2 percent (21-of-55) from the floor and 30.8 percent (4-of-13) from beyond the arc, while the Bulls connected on 21-of-50 (42 percent) from the floor, but EMU held Buffalo to just 22.2 percent (4-of-18) from downtown.

Senior Phillis Webb notched her seventh double-double of the year with 13 points and a game-high 14 rebounds.

Buffalo then scored on a second chance opportunity before EMU broke the scoring column when Webb went on a quick 4-0 run of her own to make it 6-4 with 6:42 to go in the first quarter. Dailey continued the scoring for the Green and White tying things up before Buffalo connected on a corner trey on the ensuing possession to regain the lead for UB, 9-6. Another bucket by the Bulls extended the lead to five with 4:37 remaining in the first 10 minutes of play. After trading free throws for five minutes, Dailey broke the field goal drought with a straight-on three pointer at the 46 second mark, but Buffalo scored four points on a layup and free throw in the waning seconds to take a 16-12 lead into the first quarter break. Heading into the second quarter junior Tori Easley opened the scoring with a layup on a fresh feed from Dailey but a turnover on EMU's next possession turned into a quick layup for Buffalo. Both squads grabbed a bucket apiece before four-straight UB points extended the lead to 25-21 with 5:48 remaining in the second quarter. Dailey stopped the bleeding by connecting on her second three-ball of the game. The triple sparked a 6-0 run, bringing Eastern Michigan to within one, 25-24, with just under five minutes remaining. After UB dropped the back end of a pair of free throws, freshman Esabelle Levine found Dailey on a quick cut to tie up the game at 26 apiece. On the next possession, the Eagles took their first lead, 28-26, when Easley connected on an open layup, giving EMU the two-point edge at halftime. UB's JoAnna Smith tied the game at 28 on the first possession on a drive and lay in, before regaining the lead, 30-28, with 7:41 to go. The Bulls scored the first six points of the third quarter, prompting a Fred Castro timeout at the 5:56 mark. The Eagles finally broke through offensively when Dailey knocked down a three at the 5:31 mark, but Buffalo responded quickly with a layup before Dailey dropped in a layup of her own. Buffalo came back with a 7-1 run, taking an eight point, 42-34, lead with 2:20 to go, but the Eagles held the Bulls scoreless the remainder of the quarter and Dailey connected on another three-pointer to cut the deficit to five, 42-37, at the end of the third stanza. The Bulls connected on three of their first four field goal attempts to take a nine-point, 48-39, lead at the 7:49 mark before a quick 4-0 run for EMU brought the Eagles back to within five with just under seven minutes remaining. After UB dropped in the first end of a pair of free throws, the Eagles scored seven in a row to retake the lead, 50-49, with just under five minutes left in the game. Buffalo quickly responded with a layup at the 4:31 mark, but both teams went scoreless until the 57 second mark when UB pulled down an offensive rebound and a put back layup gave the Bulls a 53-50 lead with under a minute to go. With just over 30 seconds to go, the Green and White forced a turnover and Webb converted on a layup to make it a one-point game with 15 seconds to go. On the ensuing possession, the Eagles had to foul a pair of times to put the Bulls at the charity stripe. Buffalo was able to convert free throws through the final seconds and came away with a 56-52 win inside the Convocation Center.

TOLEDO, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team used a late fourth quarter push Wednesday, Feb. 22, but could not upend the University of Toledo in Mid-American Conference action inside Savage Arena. EMU, which trailed by as many as 20 points with 6:49 to play, outscored the Rockets by 12, 19-7, down the stretch in a 65-57 setback. Eastern Michigan (6-21, 1-14 MAC) was led by a 17-point performance from senior Phillis Webb, who finished 7-of-14 from the floor. Webb also added nine rebounds in the contest.

Eastern actually outshot UT (39.3 percent), but lost the battle on the glass, 43-34. A slow 2-for-7 start for the Rockets from the field allowed the Eagles to use a 7-0 run aided capped by a Webb layup to take a 9-7 edge. Dailey became the fifth different EMU player to score in the opening five minutes with a stick back following a miss, as the sides continued to exchange makes from the floor. As solid as the offense was in the opening moments, the two sides experienced more than three minutes without a field goal. Webb finally ended a 0-for-6 spell for EMU with a three-pointer with 45 seconds showing . However, the Rockets used a pair of quick scores in the waning moments to retake an 18-14 edge as the buzzer sounded. EMU's defensive caused UT all sorts of trouble early on, with the Midnight Blue and Gold converting on 24 percent (6-of-25) of their attempts. Six turnovers by the Eagles aided the home team's cause, allowing UT to push the advantage to 23-16 with four minutes gone in the second quarter. The deficit grew to 15, 30-16, as EMU missed eight-straight shots and turned it over four times in a seven minute span. Junior Micah Robinson finally ended the 12-0 run by the Rockets with a layup at the 1:47 mark to end the scoring woes. EMU scored the final five points of the frame with the margin at nine, 30-21, as the teams headed to the locker room. Dailey and junior Tori Easley each chipped in five points apiece to lead Eastern, as the squad outshot Toledo in the opening 20 minutes. Eastern made 32 percent (9-of-28) of its tries compared to just 27 percent (10-of-36) for Toledo. The biggest obstacle was that UT dominated the glass with an eight rebound edge, 27-19, as well as a seven point difference from the charity stripe. Quick points offense out of the break by Dailey and Webb pulled the Green and White back within five, 35-30, on trey at the 5:55 mark of the third quarter. After a three minute stretch without a score, Michaela Rasmussen's layup with 4:50 left push the offense back in gear with a trio of scores to push it to 41-30 in favor of UT. In a game of dramatic runs, the Rockets rode the wave of a 7-2 run over the next six minutes holding the Eagles without a field goal for the remainder of the third stanza. Webb ended the drought with her second triple of the contest to make it 51-36 with 9:13 still to play in the contest. The scoring wave continued back in Eastern's direction, cutting the deficit back to 13, 60-47, on a Deans' jumper with 3:07 left.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University's women's basketball team dropped an 81-71 decision Saturday afternoon, Feb. 25, to Northern Illinois University. For the Eagles (6-22, 1-15 MAC), it was their eighth loss in a row, while the Huskies (19-8, 12-4 MAC) picked up their 12th Mid-American Conference victory. As a team, the Green and White shot 39.4 percent from the floor, going 28-of-71 overall. It was turnovers that plagued EMU, as the Huskies forced Eastern into 19 miscues which turned into 19 NIU points. Senior Phillis Webb put together a career day, notching a careerbest of 31 points versus Northern Illinois. Webb completed that feat on 13-of-26 shooting to go along with a pair of three point makes. She also pulled down six rebounds while picking up three steals and a pair of assists. Junior Micah Robinson added 18 points and eight rebounds, while junior Sasha Dailey notched 10 points, nine rebounds and a career-best three blocks. The Huskies jumped out to an early 12-2 lead just three minutes into the game forcing an EMU timeout. A Dailey jumper broke the streak, but NIU scored six of the next 10 to maintain their lead, 18-8, at the end of the first quarter. EMU and NIU traded two three pointers each to begin the second frame, with three balls from freshman Esabelle Levine and Robinson, to keep 10-point deficit four minutes in. The Huskies got the lead up to 15 soon thereafter, but back-to-back Webb buckets kept it an 11-point game, 30-19, with 4:21 until the half. NIU then proceeded to go on a 7-0 run to grab a commanding 3719 advantage with 2:56 left, but Eastern responded with a 6-0 run of their own to trail by 12, 37-25 into the half. The second half began with EMU and NIU trading blows, but Eastern couldn't crack the deficit to under double digits. Midway through the period, the Eagles still trailed by 13, 50-37. A 6-2 run after the media timeout gave NIU a 56-39 lead with 1:59 to go, but a Sheyna Deans jumper and two free throws, plus some stout defense, put the score at 56-43 into the final stanza. A 7-3 Northern Illinois run to begin the final quarter gave the Huskies a 17-point lead with 7:30 to play. Webb then scored EMU's next 11 points, but NIU, like they did all game, continued to have the answer and still led by 15 with 3:31 remaining. The Eagles wouldn't go quietly though, whittling the NIU lead down to 10 with 1:47 to go, and eventually eight with 32 second left, but the Huskies were able to hold on for the 81-71 victory.

Freshman Esabelle Levine then hit EMU's third three of the opening quarter, pushing the lead back to double digits, 13-2, before Ball State knocked down a bucket to make the score 13-4 through 10 minutes of play. The defensive battle continued into the second, as the Cardinals scored the first points of the period at the 7:40 mark, adding one more bucket to make it 13-8. After a long ball from Ball State, Eastern called a timeout with the lead down to two, 13-11. Shortly after, the Cardinals tied it up on a pair of free throws, making it 13 all. Webb gave the lead back to the Eagles on the next possession, converting a layup on an assist from Dailey. The lead increased to four, but another long ball and layup from Ball State gave the Cardinals their first lead of the game, 18-17. Levine tied it back up at 18 on a free throw, after which a Robinson jumper gave the Eagles the lead once again. The back-and-forth play continued, with BSU retaking the lead and EMU tying it up again at 21 to end the first half. Ball State scored first in the third, but Dailey came right back to keep it all tied up at 23. The Cardinals then rattled off four straight, forcing an EMU timeout with the score standing at 27-23 BSU. A jumper from Robinson cut the BSU lead to two, and a three from Deans puts the Eagles back in front, 28-27. The battle continued, as Ball State regained the lead for a possession, but a layup from Deans gave it right back to Eastern, 30-29. Webb sunk a mid-range jumper with roughly five minutes to go, making the score 32-31 EMU. Dailey and Deans added four more on a layup and free throws, respectively, as the Green and White maintained a three-point lead, 36-33, with under two minutes to go in the quarter. The third ended with a late bucket for Ball State, giving them the 40-38 lead with 10 minutes remaining. Dailey promptly tied the game at 40 early in the fourth, after which the game slowed down with Ball State leading 42-40. A floater from Webb tied up the game for the eighth time, however the trend of Ball State responses continued, as the score quickly became 46-42 in favor of the Cardinals. Eastern responded right back, evening the game once again at 46. A quick four points from Ball State then forced an EMU timeout at the 4:59 mark with the score standing at 50-46. A three-point play from Webb cut into the Ball State lead, making it 52-49, but a 7-0 run by the Cardinals to increase their lead to seven, 56-49, the largest of the game. A quick steal and layup from Dailey pulled Eastern back within six, but the Cardinals continued to make shots and maintain a sizable lead. Eastern Michigan battled until the end, but ultimately fell short, 64-54.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team wrapped up the regular season against in-state rival and Mid-American Conference West Division foe Central Michigan University, Saturday afternoon, March 4. Eastern Michigan's (6-24, 1-17 MAC) defense was locked in, but the offense stalled as the Green and White fell, 71-48. As a team, the Eagles converted 19-of-60 shots from the field, amounting to a 31.7 field goal percentage for the game. Meanwhile, the Chippewas (23-7, 15-3 MAC) finished the day 29-of-67 from the floor, and 9-of-10 from the charity stripe. Junior Micah Robinson led the Eagles' scoring efforts, netting a game-high 19 points to go along with seven rebounds. Senior Phillis Webb also flirted with a double-double, finishing with 11 points and eight rebounds. The Chippewas raced ahead to 9-0 lead over the first three minutes of play, as the Eagles struggled to find a groove offensively. Robinson got the Green and White on track with a bucket with 6:53 on the clock. CMU responded right away, but back-to-back three-pointers by Webb and junior Sasha Dailey pulled EMU within three, 11-8, with just over five minutes to go in the period. After a CMU jumper pushed the score to 13-8, the next four minutes of play lacked offense as the score stood until the 1:17 mark. Free throws for both squads in the final minute left the score sitting at 17-10 in favor of Central through 10 minutes of play. Junior Tori Easley began the second quarter with a layup, but a triple and jumper for CMU extended EMU's deficit to double digits, 22-12, one minute into the frame. From that point the defense's on both ends locked in. A six-minute scoring drought was broken with another jumper from Easley, this one with three minutes remaining in the half. Webb sunk a mid-range jump shot on the Eagles' next possession to pull the Green and White within six, 22-16. CMU's eight-minute long drought came to a close with 1:18 on the clock, courtesy of free throws, kick starting a 6-0 run by the Chips to close the half. At the break, the Eagles trailed 28-16, despite holding a potent Central Michigan offense to its second-lowest scoring half since MAC play began, Dec. 31. In the third quarter, the Eagles were outscored 20-14, allowing the Chippewas to take a 48-30 lead into the final 10 minutes of play. The Green and White went basket-for-basket with Central in the final stanza, but the late push wasn't enough as Eastern fell, 71-48.

ATHENS, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team’s upset bid in the first round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament against fifth-seeded Ohio University fell short Monday night, March 6. The Eagles (6-25, 1-17 MAC) pulled within three in the fourth quarter, but the Bobcats (21-8, 12-6 MAC) closed the game on a 14-3 run to close the book on EMU’s season with a 63-49 setback. Eastern shot 33.9 percent from the field, knocking down 20-of-59 shots, while a strong second half saw Ohio convert 43.8 percent of its attempts. The Eagles finished 5-of-6 from the free throw line, but the Bobcats made the most of 22 free throw attempts, converting 17 freebies. Junior Sasha Dailey carried the Eagles offensively, scoring a team-high 22 points on 9-of-18 shooting. From there, the scoring was more balanced with five other players scoring for the Green and White. Locked in defensively, the Eagles held the Bobcats without a field goal for the first two and a half minutes of action. Dailey and junior Micah Robinson provided the offense for the Green and White early, but Ohio cashed in at the charity stripe to leave the score even at four. Dailey poured in seven points over the next two minutes, but OU kept pace to even the score at 11 with just under five minutes to go in the period. Executing the play just as Head Coach Fred Castro drew it up, the Eagles whipped the ball around the perimeter before feeding junior Tori Easley on the block. Taking what the defense gave her, Easley spun toward the paint and sunk the short jumper to put Eastern in front, 13-11, at the first media timeout. Dailey became the first Eagle into double digits, hitting a pull-up jumper on EMU’s first possession out of the media timeout to push the Green and White’s edge to four, 15-11. Tracking down a loose ball on the offensive end, Dailey threaded a pass to Easley for a wide open layup with 30 seconds remaining in the period. Ohio tacked on two free throws before the frame came to a close, leaving the Eagles with a 17-13 lead heading into the second quarter. Ohio took the lead in the second quarter behind an 8-0 run, that spanned five minutes. Meanwhile, Eastern opened the period 0-for-7 from the floor, bringing about an EMU timeout following the Eagles’ third turnover of the quarter. Trailing 21-17 with 5:05 on the clock, the Eagles capitalized out of their timeout as Robinson connected on a floater in the lane for EMU’s first points of the period to cut OU’s lead to two, 21-19. Eastern’s defense stepped it up over the next five minutes, holding Ohio to just four points. Freshman Esabelle Levine drew two charges, while Easley added a steal, and Dailey registered a block to lead the defensive effort and keep the Eagles within a basket at the half. Entering the third quarter facing a two point deficit, 25-23, the Eagles played to a 29-29 tie over the first four minutes behind buckets by Dailey and senior Phillis Webb. The Bobcats rattled off five unanswered points, three of which came from the free throw line, and the two on a putback off a missed freebie to take a 34-29 lead at the midway point. Levine ended a three-minute long scoring drought for the Green and White, converting a triple from the wing to end Ohio’s run, before finding Easley the next time down the floor to cut OU’s lead to two, 36-34. The Eagles rode the hot hand, setting up Levine for another three-pointer, but two more free throws gave the Bobcats a 43-39 lead with 10 minutes to play. In the fourth quarter, senior Sheyna Deans paced a 7-0 run for Eastern Michigan to pull EMU within three, 49-46. Ohio took its largest lead of the night moments later, jumping ahead by 13 with three minutes remaining, all but sealing the game. The Green and White chipped away at the deficit, but ended the season with a 63-49 setback. The Eagles conclude the season with a 6-25 overall (1-17 MAC) record, with many key contributors set to return next season. The loss marks the end of the careers for Webb, Deans, Ashley Nickens, and Melva Smith.

James Plays in the Pan Am Games Eastern Michigan University guard Tavelyn James (Detroit, Mich.-Mumford) earned a spot on the roster of the USA women's basketball team that participated in the 2011 Pan American Games, Oct. 21-25, in Guadalajara, Mexico. James became not only the first EMU player to compete in the event, but also the first student-athlete from a Mid-American Conference institution to be selected for the team's roster. "I am honored and excited to represent the USA team, EMU and the MAC," said James at the announcement. "I am looking forward to playing with players from across the country and learn new things from the Team USA coaching staff. The experience will provide a new prospective for me and I am looking forward to becoming a better and more well rounded player." "This is such a tremendous honor for Tavelyn and our program, as well as for the MAC," said former EMU Head Women's Basketball Coach AnnMarie Gilbert when the teams were announced. "I have always believed that she would one day be invited to play for USA Basketball. She is, in my opinion, one of the best and fastest small guards in the country. The opportunity for Tavelyn to represent the United States and to compete with and against some of the nation's top players will be a rewarding and unforgettable experience for her. She has worked extremely hard and is so deserving of this special honor." Besides James, the official 12-member USA roster included: Breanna Stewart (Cicero-North Syracuse H.S.-North Syracuse, N.Y.), a high school senior who helped the USA to a gold medal and earned a spot on the five-person all-tournament team at

the 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship this past July; alongside NCAA studentathletes Shante Evans (Hofstra); Christine Flores (Missouri); Emilie Johnson (UC Santa Barbara); Marissa Kastanek (North Carolina State); Kevi Luper (Oral Roberts); Valencia McFarland (Mississippi); Katelan Redmon (Gonzaga); Kayla Standish (Gonzaga); April Sykes (Rutgers); and Avery Warley (Liberty). The player selections were made by the USA Basketball Women's National Team Committee. The U.S. squad opened training camp on Oct. 15 with an evening practice in Houston, Texas, followed by two practices, Oct. 16 and 17, and a morning session, Oct. 18. The team then departed for Guadalajara and the 2011 Pan American Games on Oct. 18, and had a practice Oct. 19 and 20 before the competition started on Oct. 21. The 2011 USA Women's Pan American Games Team included seven players who are set to graduate from college in 2012, three members of the junior class who will graduate in 2013, and one college sophomore. Stewart has one year of high school remaining before she is expected to head to the University of Connecticut in the fall of 2012, where she has verbally committed to attend. James started all four games for the USA, averaging 9.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 24.5 minutes per game. Her nine assists led the squad, while her 39 points and 13 made field goals were second most. The Pan American Games are a multisport competition held every four years

(2011, 2015, etc.) in the year preceding the Olympics.

The 2003-04 Championship Run At times, dreams seem to arrive out of nowhere. For the Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball program, the 2003-04 campaign was one of those dreams. In the sixth year under the tutelage of head coach Suzy Merchant, a collection of underclassmen and one senior were able to accomplish what any young, up-and-coming program needs to gain recognition at the national level: qualify for an NCAA tournament. The Eagles did accomplish that feat, but it did not arrive without a season full of “firsts.” That series of occurrences began midway through the regular MidAmerican Conference season. After starting the league slate with a 5-3 record, the Eagles hosted their archenemies in the MAC over the past 12 years, the Kent State Golden Flashes, Feb. 4. EMU had not defeated Kent since 1992, and the Golden Flashes came into the contest with an unusually mediocre 4-3 conference mark. Eastern held a slim lead throughout the majority of the game, but a combined 36 points from senior co-captain Marion Crandall and freshman Sarah VanMetre gave the Eagles a much-needed 63-58 win, the first time any EMU player had tasted victory over the Golden Flashes in more than a decade. Prior to that game, EMU had won back-to-back contests versus Bowling Green and at Western Michigan, but the emotional victory over Kent State may have triggered what was to come for the remainder of the conference schedule. The Eagles rolled off five consecutive wins, including blowout victories over Marshall and Toledo. EMU did absorb one more loss, an 89-81 decision at Ohio, Feb. 25. But that may have been exactly what the Eagles needed heading into the MAC tournament. In all, Eastern won nine out of its final 10 games heading into the postseason, but none was more important than the season finale at Central Michigan, March 2. Eastern had clinched at least a share of its first-ever MAC West title with an 84-74 decision over Ball State, Feb. 21, but the team wanted the championship all to itself. The loss at Ohio prevented the celebration, however, and EMU would have to come up with a win at arch-rival CMU’s Rose Arena to gain sole possession of the division championship. It was apparent that the Eagles didn’t want things to come down to the wire, as they opened up a 45-28 lead and coasted to victory in the second half, putting four players in double figures in the effort. The ensuing stop on EMU’s magical season was the 2004 Kraft MAC Tournament. The Eagles were awarded the second seed in the field, and were able to sit out the first round with a bye. EMU started its tournament run in Cleveland, Ohio, where EMU had yet to win a game in Gund Arena. The Eagles’ first round opponent was seventh-seeded Toledo, a team with which

EMU had split the regular-season series. A clock delay seemed to alter both teams’ rhythms in the first half, as sloppy play turned into a turnover-plagued fist frame, and EMU entered the locker room at halftime with a slim 24-23 lead. The second half was a different story, however, as the Eagles’ defense clamped down not allowing a Toledo field goal for the opening 4:40 of the half, opening up a 35-25 lead at the initial media time-out. Junior sharpshooter Ryan Coleman provided the team a quick scare, as she hit the floor hard with 17:30 left, and would not return until the 5:45 mark. Her return sparked the Eagles, however, as she scored seven points on 3-for-3 shooting from the field and helped EMU open up a 55-43 lead with 2:31 left, letting EMU coast to the semifinals with a 60-47 win. Next up for the Eagles in their pursuit of a conference tournament title was a matchup with No. 6 Marshall, arguably the most physical team in the MAC. In the two teams’ lone meeting of the regular season, the Eagles came away with a 66-49 win in Huntington, W.Va., in the game following the win over Kent State. The semifinal matchup would be much closer. Marshall cut a six-point EMU lead to 65-64 with under three minutes remaining in the game, but the Eagles converted a perfect 8-for-8 from the free-throw line in the final 2:12. Success at the charity stripe proved to be the difference, and perhaps the only defining statistic that EMU had a significant advantage over the Thundering Herd. For the game, the Eagles were 22-of-28 from the line in what head coach Suzy Merchant called “one of the most physical games this program has ever played in.” EMU was outrebounded 44-32, but in the end, was a 75-70 winner, advancing to the championship round of the tournament. The Eagles’ opponent in the finals was a surprise to many MAC fans. Bowling Green, the No. 4 seed, needed two back-to-back buzzer beaters to oust Western Michigan and Miami to advance to the championship, setting up a game with EMU that had occurred just once in the regular season. In that lone meeting, the Falcons threw everything they had at the Eagles in Ypsilanti, as EMU escaped with a 61-59 victory, Jan. 27. In the finals, however, the Eagles were able to take control of the game in its early stages. EMU never trailed in the contest, and led by double-digits for much of the first half, limiting the Falcons to just two field goals over the final 12:17. The Eagles entered the locker room at halftime with an eight-point lead, but Bowling Green would not fade in the second half. The Falcons cut the lead to five with under 10 minutes remaining, but a balanced scoring effort that saw each EMU player score at least seven points and effective late-game free-throw shooting proved to be the difference, as the Eagles won their last 12th out of 13 games. It turned out to be the most important and influential win in the program’s history. With the regular-season and tournament championships in hand, the Eagles were poised for their

The 2003-04 Championship Run next mission, which would be even more unfamiliar: a berth and run in the 2004 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. With the tournament final occurring on Saturday (March 20), Eastern would have to wait one more day for the fate of its first-round opponent. The team gathered for a celebration dinner and “selection-show” party at the Washtenaw Country Club the following day, and when ESPN aired the show, Eastern learned it would be a No.14 seed in the Mideast Region, and would draw No. 3 seeded Boston College, which had recently wrapped up a championship itself by winning the Big East tournament. History was not on EMU’s side. While upsets occur regularly on the men’s side of the NCAA’s, a 14-seeded team had never beaten a third seed in the history of the women’s NCAA field. The game was scheduled for March 20 at St. John Arena on the campus of the Ohio State University. EMU fans rallied around the success of the team, and before its bus departure from Ypsilanti, March 23, a group of more than 100 Eastern fans gathered in the atrium of the Convocation Center to send the team off and show their appreciation for what had already been accomplished. They were also led to US-23 by a police escort to begin the trip. When the team arrived in Columbus, it was all business. The team had scheduled news conferences and a shoot-around shortly thereafter, March 24, and was slated to play its game in the second slot, March 25, following the Ohio State versus West Virginia contest. While the home Ohio State crowd dwindled minimally, 8,159 fans were still in attendance for EMU-Boston College, by far and away the largest crowd EMU had played in front of this season. The atmosphere was also much different than a home game at the Convocation Center. It was a neutral site with many neutral fans, and the game was televised nationally in its entirety on ESPN 2 and ESPN. Shortly after the opening tip, it seemed as if the unfamiliar surroundings had begun to influence the Eagles’ composure. Boston College came out of the gate firing, converting its first nine field goals, forcing EMU into a time-out with 14:20 left, already trailing by 18 points, 22-4. Following the break, however, the Eagles went on a quick 7-2 run on back-to-back field goals by VanMetre and junior Melis Ulker, to pull within 15, 24-9, with 11:18 remaining. The Eagles kept chipping away at the BC advantage, and pulled within single digits for the first time on a VanMetre three-point field goal with 6:24 left, trimming the edge to 28-20. The teams combined for just four field goals for the remainder of the first half, and with five seconds left, a jumper by Boston College’s Jessica Deveny gave the BC Eagles a 34-24 lead heading into the intermission. VanMetre paced the Eagles with six points, while BC was led by All-American Amber Jacobs with nine first-half points. BC opened up as large as a 13-point lead in the first five minutes of the second half, but back-to-back Ulker field goals kept EMU within 11, 40-29, heading into the first media time-out at 15:09. The edge fluctuated between eight and 13 points over the next 7:20, and the Eagles were within 10, 50-40, with 7:52 remaining. Over the next 4:05, EMU posted a 12-3 run, paced by six quick points by Coleman, and pulled within just one point, 53-52, on a jumper by junior Erika Ford that led into the game’s

final media time-out (3:48 left). Eastern took its only lead of the game with 3:22 left, when Coleman came out of the media time-out and hit a jumper to give EMU a 54-53 edge. BC’s Deveny answered the next time down the floor, however, with a three-pointer to give the lead back to BC, 56-54, with 3:02 left. Neither team scored for the ensuing 2:20 before sophomore Nikki Knapp tied the game at 56-56 with 40 seconds left on an inside power layup. BC immediately called a time-out and drew up what would be the go-ahead shot. BC missed the initial jumper with 28 seconds left, but grabbed the offensive rebound that set up Kathrin Ress’ layup underneath the basket with 12 seconds left, leaving EMU trailing by two points. The Eagles took a timeout and set up a play for their best scorer, Coleman. EMU went for the win, but Coleman’s three-pointer at the buzzer fell short of the goal, and the comeback effort ended in the 58-56 loss. Overall, for the final 35 minutes of the game, EMU outscored BC, 52-36. While the entire season was a series of “firsts,” Merchant did not believe that her 2004 team’s appearance in the NCAA tournament will be the last time it will make a mark on the national level. “We’ll be back,” Merchant said following the game. “This group (Crandall is the only loss for next season) is so levelheaded, there are no prima donnas on this team. There’s a target on our backs now, and I think we’re ready for that if we keep outworking people. We’re not some one-hit wonder where the ride is over. We’ll be back.” Coleman and Ford, both captains, seconded their coaches’ comments: “That was one of many big shots to come in the NCAA tournament,” Coleman said after coming up short on the game’s final play. “I look forward to shooting more of them, and next time, that shot is going to fall.” “We’re going to be as good, if not better next year,” Ford added. While EMU’s team racked up honors in their dream run, the individuals on the team were also recognized for their accomplishments in the 2003-04 season. The Eagles landed four players on All-MAC squads with Coleman being named to the first-team, Knapp to the second-team, Crandall, an honorable mention pick, and VanMetre to the All-Freshman squad, along with being named Sixth Man of the Year.

The 2011-12 Championship Run Unlike the surprising success of the 2003-04 championship season, the championship season of 2011-12 was quite predictable. Entering her fifth season as the head coach at EMU, AnnMarie Gilbert boasted the most talented roster yet with the Eagles, and the team was returning from a season that saw numerous records broken, including most wins in a season (24), en route to a WNIT “Sweet 16” appearance. Naturally, the 2011-12 season began with high expectations, and the Eagles did not disappoint. The season began with a convincing win against Northeastern, and a record setting performance from senior gaurd Tavelyn James. Not only did the Team USA representative pour in a school single-game record 42 points, she also became the first woman in MAC history to score 40 or more points in the first game of the season. Next up for the Green and White was a record setting 110-31 victory over Marygrove in the second game of the season. The 79-point victory set program record for total points scored in a single game. The Eagles third game of the season was a road contest against 23rd ranked WisconsinGreen Bay. The Eagles would score first on a layup from sophomore forward Olivia Fouty, but things seemed to fall apart from there. EMU shot just 25 percent from the field, while Green Bay hit on 46.0 percent of its shots. Perhaps as telling as the gap in shooting percentage was the 23 Eagle turnovers that led to 38 points for the Phoenix. The Green and White got back on track with their next game at Loyola-Chicago. Senior forward Paige Redditt led the way with her fifth career double-double scoring 17 points and bringing down a career-best 18 rebounds to go along with three assists. The effort on the boards was crucial, as EMU out-rebounded Loyola, 46-26, on its way to a 63-55 victory. After a close win against Cornell, the Eagles traveled to Buffalo, N.Y. to play the Golden Griffins of Canisius. Sophomore forward Natachia Watkins led the way this time, scoring 16 second half points to finish with a game-high 21 in the Eagles 65-53 96

win. EMU struggled for the next month, playing around the .500 mark, including three overtime losses against Michigan State, MissouriKansas City and Detroit. Sandwiched between those OT losses, came the teams second consecutive win over Michigan in a rematch from the WNIT last season. The Green and White proved that the win last season was no fluke, winning 77-64. The game also saw another record-breaking performance from James. The 2012 Pomeroy Naismith Award winner scored 38 points on her way to the EMU all-time career scoring record. The first conference game of the season was a road trip to Ball State. The Eagles struggled offensively, shooting just 29.0 percent from the field as they fell to an 0-1 record in MAC play, dropping the game by a score of 54-51. Just when it seemed as though the EMU women may be in line for a disappointing season, the team caught fire. It all began with a matchup, Jan. 8, against the Huskies of Northern Illinois. The team was led by a 17 point, eight rebound effort from Redditt, who also blocked two shots and moved into second place on the EMU career blocked shots list. Despite the turnover-plagued first half, the game was never in doubt as the Eagles won 64-52. The win restored the team’s confidence and the women of Eastern Michigan went on to win 14 of the next 16 games to finish out the regular season, including a nine-game win streak which covered Jan. 25 to Feb. 25. The most impressive win throughout the streak came, Jan. 28, at the Convocation Center against the Akron Zips. The Eagles dominated their opponent from start to finish on their way to a 91-46 victory. The EMU offense was explosive as usual, shooting nearly 45 percent from the field, while the defense held the Zips to 24.5 percent shooting (13 of 53). The next blowout victory of the season came on Feb. 11 in the Convocation Center against Kent State. James had another record-setting day, tying the MAC record for three-pointers made in a single game with 10. James finished with 40 points, nearly outscoring the Golden Flashes on her own. The Eagles cruised to an 83-47 demolition of KSU.

The 2011-12 Championship Run Next up for the Eagles was in-state rival Western Michigan University at University Arena in Kalamazoo, Mich. James again led the way with 30 points. EMU never trailed, playing smothering defense in holding the Broncos to a 28.8 shooting percentage. Eastern led 43-24 at halftime, and things did not change in the second half as EMU proved far too much for the Broncos cruising to an 83-56 victory. Three days later, the Eagles trekked to DeKalb, Ill. for a rematch against Northern Illinois. The beginning of the game was a true battle with six lead changes in the first half. With seven minutes left in the opening twenty, EMU found a rhythm and closed the half with an 18-8 run. The Eagles expanded their lead in the second half and won the game by a score of 77-57, their third consecutive win of 20 points or more. James led all scorers with 29 points, her 17th game of the season with at least 20 points. Watkins posted a double-double, scoring 18 with 12 rebounds. The Eagles came home next for a crucial matchup against the Toledo Rockets. Both teams entered the game tied for first place in the MAC West division, and a head-to-head match so late in the season would go a long way in deciding the division champion. The Eagles would post a 54-33 win over the Rockets to take a sole lead of the MAC West division. James led the Eagles with 20 points, while Watkins and Redditt each had double-figure scoring affairs. The last game of the win streak came at home against Ball State, Feb. 25. James again led all scorers with 23 points, and sophomore forward Fouty added 17 points and nine rebounds. The game guaranteed EMU at least a share of the MAC West Division title and avenged a 54-51 loss at Ball State earlier in the year. The second meeting between the two teams was not nearly as competitive, as the Eagles notched their fourth blowout victory in the last five games with a 74-43 win. The team was good enough during the regular season to secure the number two seed in the 2012 MidAmerican Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament. Earning the two-seed offered the Eagles an automatic bye to the semifinals of the tournament where Eastern faced its West Division co-champion Toledo. EMU trailed by a score of 51-41 with just 7:45 remaining in the game when things began to click. The Green and White finished the game on an 18-6 run to secure the team’s third win over Toledo on the season, 59-57. The win also secured the team’s second consecutive trip to the MAC Tournament Cham-

pionship Game. James again paced the team in scoring with 19. The senior was joined by sophomore Watkins, who added 19 of her own, 12 of which came in the second half. Next up would be a rematch against in-state rival Central Michigan with a trip to the NCAA Tournament on the line. In a close game, the Eagles needed just one field goal in the final 8:14 of play to dispatch fifthseeded Central Michigan University, 72-71, Saturday afternoon, March 10, in the championship game of the 2012 MidAmerican Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament at Quicken Loans Arena. Redditt stuffed home the gamewinning layup with 1.8 seconds left to earn the Eagles their first MAC title since 2004 and an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. Sophomore guard Desyree Thomas recorded 10 assists and four steals as the Eagles secured their second MAC Tournament Championship. James and Watkins were named to the MAC All-Tournament team and James also earned tournament MVP honors. The Eagles season ended a week later in West Lafayette, Ind. at the hands of the No. 5-seeded South Carolina Gamecocks. South Carolina played smothering defense, holding EMU to just 48 points, paced by Redditt with 14 points and 12 rebounds. The postseason game gave Redditt the opportunity to reach 1,000 career points, finishing with her final year with 1,001. EMU finished the season with a record of 23-9, one win away from tying the program record and earning the team’s second ever trip to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. James earned MAC Player of the Year, All-MAC First Team, MAC Player of the Week honors six times, and WBCA and Associated Press AllAmerican Honorable Mention honors. Redditt and Watkins each earned All-MAC Third Team honors, while Watkins also was named to the Academic All-MAC team. The Eagles won eight games by 20 points or more, and five games by 30 points or more in one of the greatest seasons in EMU Women’s Basketball history.

RETRIED JERSEYS #4 - Laurie Byrd

Laurie Byrd, who was the program's all-time leading scorer with 1,899 career points, became the first EMU women's basketball player to have her jersey hung in the Convocation Center rafters. She joins EMU men's basketball greats George Gervin, Grant Long, Kennedy McIntosh and Earl Boykins as the only other players to have the honor bestowed upon them. A prolific scorer while at EMU, Byrd remained the program's all-time leading scorer for 29 seasons. She is the only player in the program's history to lead her team in scoring and assists in each season in which she competed. Additionally, Byrd held EMU career records for scoring average (19.2 ppg), field goals made (854) and field goals attempted (1,788). Formerly an assistant coach for the WNBA's Washington Mystics, Byrd previously served as an assistant coach with the Houston Comets in 2008. In the 2007 season, she was the Comets' director of player personnel. Prior to heading to Houston, Byrd served as an assistant coach for three seasons (2003-2005) with the Detroit Shock, which included the 2003 WNBA Championship. She first entered the coaching ranks at the University of Detroit Mercy as an assistant for three seasons (1999-2002). Byrd had an extensive professional playing career in the American Basketball League and the Women's Basketball Association. She played on the San Jose Lasers and the Atlanta Glory with the ABL and played on the Kentucky Marauders and the Chicago Spirits with the WBL. Byrd also spent time playing overseas. She played seven seasons on numerous basketball clubs in Sweden, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. The Flint, Mich. native has received many awards and honors during her career, including being inducted into the E-Club Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993 and the AAU Hall of Fame in 1993. In 2003, she was the Think Detroit Honorary Double Goal Coach of the Year.
