  • Eagles try to end skid, hang onto postseason

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Nov 9, 2017

    So much for all the "experts" who throw darts at the target in July and try to predict how things will look like in November in the Big Sky Conference football standings. Between the coaches and media, both picked defending co-champions, Eastern Washington and North Dakota, to finish one-two. Fast-forward five months and reality has set in. While Eastern barely hangs in the race, reeling from two consecutive conference losses and playing for their postseason lives, North...

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Nov 9, 2017

    The soccer season for Medical Lake and the stellar, record-setting career of forward Makayla Geiger came to an end Nov. 2 when Freeman scored a 2-0 win in the cold rain at Spokane Falls Community College.

The second-seeded Vikings from the Central Washington Athletic Conference found a way to finally come out the winners of a five-set match last Saturday, defeating Cheney 23-25, 25-18, 20-25, 27-25 and 17-15.

  • Congratulations to the Eastern Washington soccer team

    Grace Pohl, Staff Intern|Updated Nov 9, 2017

    The Eastern Washington University soccer team has been making history throughout their whole season. But the Eagles just topped it off with a Big Sky Championship title for the second year in a row proving that EWU is fortunate to have successful sports even outside of football. I have been covering the team from the Sports Information Department at EWU and it has been an exciting experience to be part of such a successful team and to see their hard work pay off. I think that head coach Chad Bodnar has turned around the...

  • Eastern defends its Big Sky Conference soccer crown

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Nov 9, 2017

    It took a while, well into the second half, but Eastern Washington finally broke the ice - literally to some extent - to score late goals for a 3-0 win over the University of Northern Colorado to claim the 2017 Big Sky Conference soccer championship for a second consecutive year. Played in a constant snowstorm, the Eagles ended a scoreless drought, getting goals from a pair of penalty kicks in the 62nd and 75th minutes from Savannah Hoekstra and Chloe Williams. Alexis...

  • Cardinals XC a 'cut above' the rest

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Nov 9, 2017

    It is a good thing Medical Lake's boy's cross country team runs better than they cut hair. One of the Cardinals rewards for winning a third 1A state championship, which they did in dominant fashion Nov. 4 in Pasco, was to be able to apply the shears to head coach Gene Blankenship's lengthy mane of salt and pepper locks. And to add a welcome injury to Blankenship's pride came the kids' desire to make the veteran coach have hair that resembled that of the current president of...
