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

Fred Castro, the eighth Head Women’s Basketball Coach in Eastern Michigan University history, begins his third season at the helm in 201819.

Castro’s squad made significant strides in the 2017-18 season, while also leaving its mark in the EMU record book. Collectively, the Eagles scored the ninth-most points in program history (2,150) and made the seventh-most field goals (810) in EMU laurels in large part to the impact of Castro’s first recruiting class. EMU’s newcomers, which comprised of four freshmen, a redshirt freshman, and four transfers, were some of the most impactful additions in the country as the group accounted for 70.3 percent of the team’s scoring and 77.1 percent of its rebounding.

Under the tutelage of Castro and his staff, Danielle Minott and Courtnie Lewis reeled in postseason accolades. Minott, a two-time MAC West Player of the Week honoree, was named to the All-MAC Third Team after an outstanding first season in Ypsilanti. Minott rewrote the record book with an electric performance against the University at Buffalo, Jan. 27, breaking the program record with 44 points. She also knocked down 14 shots, the seventh-most in EMU history in the Eagles’ overtime battle against the Bulls. For the season, Minott finished fifth in points by an EMU junior and ranked 13th in EMU annals with 483 points scored. Meanwhile, Lewis pieced together one of the best freshman seasons in EMU history. An All-MAC Honorable Mention and a MAC AllFreshmen Team selection, Lewis scored the second most-points by a freshman in EMU history, while finishing the season top-10 nationally among freshmen in points per game. Her 435 points also ranked as the 21st-most in EMU single-season history overall, while her three-point percentage (.405) was eighth-best at Eastern Michigan. Lewis also became the only freshman in the country to hold shooting percentages of at least 44-40-75 (field goal-three-point-free throw).

The Eagles also saw the careers of four seniors come to a close, most notably Sasha Dailey. Dailey finished her time in the Green and White ranked second in games played (131), tied for fifth in steals (243), seventh in field goal attempts (1,306), tied for 10th in field goals made (507) and steals average (1.9), and 15th in minutes played (3,018) and scoring (1,247). She finished her career as one of three players in program history to have scored at least 1,000 points, grabbed 350-ormore rebounds, and racked up 200+ steals.

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), three-pointers (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 University of Washington, in which Huskies 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 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 20-14, 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 thenNo. 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 16th-best 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 2011-13. 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

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.”

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. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $166 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.87 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on community building and civic engagement, quality, community and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development.

EMU is well-known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

Education First Mission Statement

Eastern Michigan University is committed to excellence in teaching through traditional and innovative approaches, the extension of knowledge through basic and applied research, and creative and artistic expression.

Building on a proud tradition of national leadership in the preparation of teachers, we maximize educational opportunities and personal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master’s and doc-

toral programs.

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).

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.

Rynearson Stadium

Rynearson Stadium begins its 49th season at the home venue for the Eastern Michigan University football and track teams in 2017-18. Opened in 1969, the facility is named for the late Elton J. Rynearson, Sr., who coached football at Eastern Michigan for 26 seasons. His teams compiled a record of 114-58-15. In one six-year period, from 1925-30, Rynearson’s teams won 40 games, tied two and lost just four.

The first game played in Rynearson Stadium was Sept. 27, 1969, when EMU upset the University of Akron, 10-3. The stadium was dedicated a few weeks later on Oct. 25, 1969, when EMU lost, 17-7, to the University of Tampa.

Over two million fans have seen EMU play in Rynearson. In 24 of the 49 years, Eastern has averaged more than 11,000 fans per home date. The 1995 season proved to be the record-breaking year for Rynearson Stadium attendance. A single-game record crowd of 25,009 was on hand, Sept. 16, 1996, to watch the Eagles dismantle UNLV, 51-6. That four-game ‘95 season also proved to be a best for season average attendance of 22,602.

Rynearson Stadium is set up for a capacity of 30,200 with the ability to expand for larger crowds. The stadium originally held 15,500, but additional seating and lighting were added in 1974 when the now-defunct Detroit Wheels used the facility for their World Football League games. The additional seating in 1974 brought the capacity to 22,227. During the summer of 1992, seating was added on the east side to bring capacity to the current total of 30,200.

Built for an approximate cost of $1.4 million in 1969, Rynearson Stadium underwent a major renovation project in 1991 and 1992, which included installation of a StadiaTurf field, a new team building, an additional 10,000-plus seats, new bathroom facilities and concession stands, an expanded press box and stateof-the-art scoreboard were added at a cost of approximately $13 million.

The playing field was originally natural grass. A sand-filled artificial surface, StadiaTurf, was installed in 1991. The StadiaTurf surface was replaced in May 1998, by an AstroTurf artificial surface. A FieldTurf surface was installed in the summer of 2005 and replaced again in 2014 when the color was switched to gray.

The press box is located on the top of the west-side stands. A second level was added as part of the renovations in 1991. The working media utilize the lower level while the top level is the University hospitality area for the stadium.

The EMU locker room is located in the team building at the north end of the stadium. The visitor’s locker room is located below the stands on the west side of the stadium.

Indoor Practice Facility

The word came early on a chilly, but calm Sunday morning, Feb. 7, 2010. After a series of delays caused by snow and wind — and with a big storm coming later that week — it was time to raise the roof on Eastern Michigan’s new indoor, multi-purpose athletic practice facility.

Workers started at 7 a.m. and, by 9 a.m., the big, white, synthetic roof had billowed to its full height.

Inside, members of EMU’s physical plant staff and construction workers admired the expansive space and thought of the athletes that would bring the place to life in the months to come.

It was an improbable event, considering work on completing such a facility and inflating the roof took place heading into and during a Michigan winter.

But mild late fall weather helped workers and staff accomplish a great deal, such as pouring 2.5 million pounds of footings concrete.

Light snow in January also helped. The area experienced less than 10 inches that year, compared to more than 30 inches in 2009. A one-inch dusting of snow delayed the inflation, but only for several days.

The facility, which costs $3.9 million, is located on Westview Drive, off Huron River Drive, at the northeast corner of Rynearson Stadium.

The building will enable EMU’s collegiate athletic teams and the Ypsilanti community to continue playing and practicing despite inclement weather. The facility will support intramural, recreational and club sporting events, as well as local sports leagues.

The facility is 410 feet long, 210 feet wide and 75 feet tall. It includes a welcome center and convertible space that can be configured for a football field, an international soccer field or four youth soccer fields.

Leasing revenues are projected to cover maintenance and operating costs.

Despite the light Sunday mood, plenty of work remained after the inflation. Workers had to unfreeze the ground, level the concrete, install synthetic turf and complete the welcome center. The parking lot was then completed in warmer weather.

The Board of Regents approved the plan for the indoor facility at its June 2009 meeting, and it was unanimously approved by the state’s Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee in September.

The project was funded by the 2005 tuition increase, four percent of which was specifically dedicated to enhance the university’s infrastructure. The four percent increase (or approximately $4.4 million) has accumulated for the past four years, creating a pool of $17.6 million.

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.

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.

2. The win was Western Michigan’s first championship since 1988 and the second football title in program history. Western Michigan entered the bowl season ranked No. 12 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and No. 14 in the Amway/USA Today Coaches Poll. The No. 12 AP ranking was the highest in the MAC since Ball State was ranked No. 12 on Nov. 30, 2008 after a 12-0 start.

Western Michigan lost a 24-16 decision to No. 8 Wisconsin in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Jan. 2. Western Michigan ended the season ranked No. 15 in the AP Poll with a 13-1 record. The Broncos were also ranked No. 15 in the sixth and final College Football Playoff ranking on Dec. 4. Western Michigan was bowl eligible for the third straight year. Western Michigan’s 13-0 mark after the Marathon MAC Football Championship was the first for the MAC since former member Marshall finished the 1999 season with a 13-0 record and a No. 10 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll.

During Western Michigan’s historic 2016 season, ESPN’s College Game Day, college football’s longest-running and most-celebrated pregame show, came to the campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo on Nov. 19 for the No. 14-ranked Broncos home game vs. Buffalo on ESPNU. 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.

The MAC had 11 draft selections in the 2017 NFL Draft to tie a MAC modern era (seven rounds) record for the most students drafted in an NFL Draft (2005 NFL Draft). The 11 selections in the 2017 NFL Draft – WR Corey Davis (Western Michigan) by Tennessee (1st Round, 5th overall); OL Taylor Moton (Western Michigan) by Carolina (2nd Round, 64th overall); DE Tarell Basham (Ohio) by Indianapolis (3rd Round, 80th overall); RB Kareem Hunt (Toledo) by Kansas City (3rd Round, 86th overall); WR Kenny Golladay (Northern Illinois) by Detroit (3rd Round, 96th overall); TE Michael Roberts (Toledo) by Detroit (4th Round, 127th overall); LB Blair Brown (Ohio) by Jacksonville (5th Round, 148th overall); DT Treyvon Hester (Toledo) by Oakland (7th Round, 244th overall); LB Keion Adams (Western Michigan) by Pittsburgh (7th Round, 248th overall); DL Pat O’Connor (Eastern Michigan) by Detroit (7th Round, 250th overall); and TE Mason Schreck (Buffalo) by Cincinnati (7th Round, 251st overall).

Cox also qualified for Team USA for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games and earned a Bronze Medal in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. The MAC had 45 wrestlers invited to the to the 2017 NCAA Wrestling Championships, which ranked third most of any Division I Conference, and eight wrestlers were named All-Americans – Missouri (J’Den Cox 1st place at 197; Lavion Mayes 2nd place at 149; Joey Lavallee 2nd place at 157; Jaydin Eierman 5th place at 141 and Daniel Lewis 6th place at 165); Northern Iowa (Max Thomsen 5th place at 149 and Drew Foster 7th place at 184) and Old Dominion (Kevin Beazley 8th place at 197).

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team began the 2017-18 campaign on a winning note, defeating Florida A&M University 83-61 Friday, Nov. 10 inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (1-0) utilized a balanced offense to shake off the Rattlers (0-1) by a 22-point margin.

Ten Eagles registered at least one point, with five scoring at least nine.

The Green and White dominated offensively, finishing 31-for-62 from the field and 7-for-17 beyond the arc. The Eagles out-rebounded the Rattlers 44-40 and dished out 21 assists. Florida A&M was less successful, shooting 33.8 percent (23-for-68) and going 4-for-26 on three-point attempts, as EMU's defense caused FAMU fits. Head coach Fred Castro was victorious in his second straight season opener as EMU earned its eighth consecutive season-opening win dating back to the 2008-09 season.

Freshman Courtnie Lewis was stellar in her EMU debut with a team-high 18 points, while collecting four rebounds and three assists.

Redshirt freshman Corrione Caldwell logged nine points and a teamhigh eight rebounds just missing a double-double in her first games as an Eagle. Senior Sasha Dailey (Toledo, Ohio-Rogers) added nine points, five boards, and a team-best five steals, while redshirt junior Lorraine Enabulele logged 10 points and four takeaways in her Eastern Michigan debut.

The contest began as a defensive battle, with both teams making one field goal in the opening three minutes. Trailing by four, EMU responded with a pair of field goals, including a three-pointer from Lewis to give the Green and White a 5-4 lead. The Eagles expanded their lead to three when Lewis hit both free throws after a technical foul assessed to Florida A&M senior Shakeyrra Morrison. In total, EMU went on a 10-1 run lasting 3:47 to take a 10-5 lead heading into a media timeout.

Coming out of the break, the Eagles continued to carry the momentum, converting a three-point play before the Rattlers snapped a nearly five minute field goal drought. A 19-3 run propelled EMU to a 22-11 lead at the end of the first quarter. Lewis led the Green and White with eight points and was one of seven Eagles to score in the opening period.

Eastern continued to dominate on both sides of the ball, starting the second quarter on a 7-0 run to open up a 29-11 advantage as the Rattlers were held scoreless for nearly five minutes. Leading 30-15 at the halfway point of the quarter, the Eagles scored the last five points of the half to take a 39-25 lead into the intermission. EMU converted 7-of-13 field goal attempts, including a pair of three-pointers during the frame.

The Eagles controlled the momentum to begin the second half, starting the quarter on a 6-0 run to grab a 20-point lead before the Rattlers burned a full timeout. EMU added another four points to take a commanding 49-25 lead, their biggest lead of the afternoon to that point. By the midway point of the quarter, the Eagles outscored the Rattlers 17-6 to move ahead, 56-31. The Green and White continued to overwhelm Florida A&M, scoring 29 points in the third quarter and lead 68-43 heading into the fourth frame.

The visitors cut the deficit to 17 just over four minutes into the final quarter, but never threatened to upset the Eagles. EMU responded by scoring the next three points to go in front 73-53 heading into a media stoppage. Leading 75-59, the Eagles finished the contest on an 8-2 run to finish off the Rattlers, 83-61.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team continued its perfect start to the 2017-18 season, stifling Rochester College, 62-29, Monday, Nov. 13 inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (2-0) outscored the Warriors (4-2) 42-9 in the second half and wrapped up the contest with a 40-5 run.

Freshman Courtnie Lewis paced the Green and White with 14 points off the bench on 6-for-12 shooting, and was one of four Eagles to collect at least seven rebounds. The Belton, Mo. product also became the first Eagle to post back-to-back double digit performances to start their EMU career since Chenise Miller did so to start the 2009-10 campaign. Redshirt junior Emoni Jackson tallied six points and a team-high 10 boards, including five on the offensive glass. Senior Sasha Dailey chipped five points and seven rebounds, while sophomore Esabelle Levine added nine points thanks to a career-best tying trio of three-pointers.

The Eagles’ defense came close to breaking multiple Convocation Center records, holding the Warriors to the fourth-fewest points in a half (9) and the sixth-worst shooting percentage in a game (20.8). On the offensive end, the Green and White fired on all cylinders in the second half, converting 18for-35 field goal attempts, including 3-of-7 from beyond the arc. EMU outrebounded Rochester, 53-31 and pulled down 22 offensive boards in the process. The Eagles also tallied seven steals and out-assisted the Warriors, 11-9.

The game started off as a defensive battle, as both sides were kept off the board for nearly three and a half minutes. Lewis broke the scoreless tie on a layup with 6:35 remaining in the first, while the Warriors opened the contest with a scoring drought lasting almost four minutes. Trailing 5-4 after a media timeout, Lewis used a pair of three-point plays to spark the Eagles on an 8-3 run and a 12-10 lead after one quarter.

EMU added to its lead in the opening minute of the second quarter when senior Micah Robinson set up Jackson for a three-pointer to give the Eagles a 15-10 edge, the largest lead by either team in the half. However, Rochester would not go away quietly, going on a 10-1 run to move in front, 20-16 with 2:34 left. Trailing by four, the Eagles scored the final four points of the half to take a 20-20 tie into the locker room.

The Green and White were dominant on the offensive glass in the opening half, grabbing 15 offensive rebounds, leading to 10 second-chance points. Sixteen of EMU’s 20 points came off the bench, and 14 points were scored in the paint. The two teams combined for 40 points on the opening half, matching the sixth-fewest in a single half in Convocation Center history, and the lowest total since Eastern Michigan and Miami University combined for 38 in the first half, Jan. 21, 2015 when the Eagles defeated the RedHawks, 56-38.

EMU found its offensive touch in the third quarter while remaining strong on defense, outscoring the Warriors, 20-5. Behind 24-22, the Eagles took complete control of the contest, using an 8-0 run to seize a 30-24 advantage with 3:09 left in the period. After head coach Fred Castro called a timeout up by five, the Eagles scored the final ten points of the quarter, capped by a pair of corner threes from Levine, to take a 40-25 lead. In total, the Green and White finished the frame on an 18-1 run while the Warriors went the final 7:48 without converting a single field goal attempt.

The Eagles kept their foot on the gas to open the fourth period, with Lewis and Dailey connecting on back-to-back baskets to give EMU a 19-point cushion. After Rochester made its first field goal in a 9:42 span, the Eagles went on a 14-0 run to open up a commanding 58-27 advantage. The Green and White thumped Rochester by a 22-4 margin in the fourth quarter, and netted 40 of the last 45 points en route to a 62-29 victory to improve to 24-2 against non-NCAA Division I opposition.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – A second half rally was not enough to overcome an early deficit for the Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team against Cleveland State University Thursday night, Nov. 16, in Cleveland, Ohio. EMU (2-1) pulled within six points in the third quarter after falling behind 24-9 in the opening period, but could not complete the comeback, falling 77-65.

In her first game donning the Green and White, redshirt junior Danielle Minott finished just shy of a double-double with 19 points and nine rebounds, both of which were team-highs. Senior Micah Robinson added 12 points as the only other Eagle to finish in double figures.

Shooting proved to be the difference in game, as the Eagles converted just 32.4 percent (24-of-74) of their shots from the floor, while the Vikings knocked down 52.9 percent (27-of-51) of their attempts. CSU’s hot shooting extended beyond the arc where the Vikings hit 10-of-18 triples (55.6 percent). Meanwhile, EMU’s offense could not keep pace, knocking down six triples on 22 attempts.

Eastern Michigan held advantages in nearly every other statistical category, including 10-6 edge in steals. The Eagles turned the ball over a season-low 12 times, while forcing the Vikings into 17 miscues. The Green and White also continued its dominance on the glass, outrebounding Cleveland State 4635, including 24 offensive boards. EMU’s 24 rebounds on the offensive end of the court were the most by the Eagles in a game since EMU grabbed 28 against Morehead State, Nov. 13, 2016.

Eastern Michigan opened the game with a three-pointer by Minott, but Cleveland State responded with a 24-point opening quarter to take a 15-point lead into the second frame. CSU knocked down 8-of-14 shots, including 4-of-6 three-pointers in the period, while EMU converted just 13.6 percent of its attempts from the field.

The Eagles stepped things up offensively in the second quarter, outscoring the Vikings 19-17, to pull within 13 at halftime. Minott paced the EMU offense, scoring eight points, including a pair of treys. On the other end of the floor, Eastern tightened up defensively, registering four steals, as the Vikings coughed the ball up six times.

Back-to-back three-pointers by Minott cut Clevleand State’s advantage to single digits two minutes into the third quarter.

Redshirt junior Lorraine Enabulele capped off Eastern’s 8-0 run with a layup to cut CSU’s lead to six, 42-36, with 7:56 to go in the frame. Unfortunately, that was as close as the Eagles would get as the Vikings rattled off a 14-2 run to extend their advantage to 18, 56-38, with just over two minutes to go in the quarter.

After EMU wrapped up the third period on a 7-2 run courtesy of sophomore Esabelle Levine’s three-pointer and four straight points by Robinson, the Eagles chipped away in the final stanza but eventually came up short, 77-65.

DETROIT, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – A gritty effort saw the Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team erase a 13-point deficit with three and a half minutes to play to knock of the University of Detroit Mercy, 7876, Sunday, Dec. 17, inside of Calihan Hall. It was EMU’s (3-7) 16th win after trailing by 10-or-more points since the 2009-10 season and its biggest comeback under Head Coach Fred Castro, as well as Eastern Michigan’s first road win since Nov. 29, 2016, a span of 17 games.

A three-ball from Detroit Mercy’s Anja Marinkovic with 3:26 to go pushed the Titan lead to a game-high 13, but proved to be the last bucket of the game for UDM as the Eagles closed the contest on a 15-0 run. Clawing its way back, EMU tallied five steals and sank 5-of-8 shots to reclaim the lead, 77-76, on a free throw by senior Micah Robinson with 35 seconds remaining. It was EMU’s first lead since midway through the second quarter and proved to be the game-winning point as EMU hung on to knock off UDM. Defense was the difference for the Green and White, as Eastern Michigan held the edge in rebounding (43-39) and steals (19-5), while forcing Detroit Mercy (0-10) into a season-high 32 turnovers. EMU’s advantage on the glass led to a 14-5 lead in second chance points for the Eagles, while EMU also turned UDM’s miscues into 29 points. Eastern Michigan’s 19 steals were the most by the Eagles since they racked up the same amount against Western Michigan, March2, 2016.

Detroit Mercy converted 43.1 percent (22-of-51) of its shots, while Eastern Michigan went 29-of-81 from the field and hit shots at a 35.8 percent clip. The Titans’ strong shooting carried beyond the arc, where UDM went 12-for-27.

Despite knocking down just six triples, EMU found its stroke at the charity stripe, converting a season-best 82.4 percent of its attempts. Meanwhile, UDM finished 20-of-29 from the line, including just 8-of-15 in the second half.

Three double-digit efforts led EMU in the comeback win, with Robinson pouring in a season-high 19 points to pace the Green and White. Fellow senior Sasha Dailey added 18 points in a strong all-around performance, chipping in a season-high six steals and six rebounds along with two assists.

Her six swipes put Dailey over the 200-steal mark for her career Redshirt junior Danielle Minott, who scored nine of her career-high 13 points in the second half, added seven boards, five steals, and three assists in a stat-stuffing showing.

Starting out the game just 1-of-6 from the field EMU fell behind by as many as nine before finding its shooting stroke. The Eagles closed the opening period on a 16-7 run in which the Green and White held the Titans scoreless for more than four minutes to even the score at 18 after 10 minutes of action.

Fouls piled up quickly for Eastern in the second, as UDM found itself in the bonus less than two minutes into the quarter. Converting 50 percent of its shots from the field, the Eagles and Titans traded buckets until seven free throws and three triples allowed Detroit Mercy to pull away 40-38 into the break.

Robinson led all scorers at the half, posting a 12-point effort on a perfect 5-for-5 shooting that included a pair of three-pointers. Dailey added nine points and a team-high five rebounds, while the Titans were paced by Lola Ristovski’s team-high nine points.

Detroit Mercy pushed its advantage to double digits, 48-38, behind an 8-0 run to begin the second half, but Eastern Michigan battled back. Freshman RayJon Harris’ (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) capped an 11-3 run for the Green and White with a three-point play on an offensive rebound. Ripping away the board, Harris sank the hoop and drew the harm, knocking down the free throw to cut UDM’s lead to 54-51 late in the third.

Behind by nine, 65-56, to start the fourth quarter, the Eagles saw the deficit grow to a game-high 13 with 3:26 ticks left on the clock before fighting back.

Aided by seven UDM miscues in the final three minutes, EMU doubled up the Titans in the final stanza, 22-11, to outlast Detroit Mercy, 78-76.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team nearly erased a pair of double-digit deficits, but fell in its Mid-American Conference opener to Kent State University, 67-60, Saturday, Dec. 30, inside the Convocation Center.

The result was an exception to the Eagles’ (4-8, 0-1 MAC) recent dominance of the Golden Flashes (8-5, 1-0 MAC). EMU has won 11 of the last 14 meetings against Kent State, and nine of the last 11 contests held within the Convocation Center.

Making her #MACtion debut, freshman Courtnie Lewis tallied 17 points, four rebounds, and two assists. Senior Sasha Dailey also scored 17 points, while leading the Green and White in rebounds, with a season-high eight, and steals (3). Redshirt junior Danielle Minott registered 12 points to go with four boards, and was one of five Eagles with at least two thefts.

The Eagles shot 35.4 percent (23-of-65) from the floor, including a blistering 61.5 percent (8-of-13) clip in the third quarter, while the Golden Flashes connected on 24-of-57 field goal attempts for a 42.1 percent efficiency. EMU matched Kent State with 14 offensive rebounds, and out-swiped the visitors, 12-7.The Eagles also won the turnover battle, turning the Golden Flashes over 21 times, while committing just 14 themselves. It marked the seventh time this season, and the fifth straight, in which EMU has forced an opponent into 20-or-more miscues.

EMU’s defense stymied Kent State early on, as the Green and White kept the Golden Flashes off the board for the opening 2:16 of the contest. Five different Eagles scored in the opening frame, but the Eagles trailed by 10, 21-11, after one quarter of play.

Trailing 29-13, a resilient EMU squad fought back with a 14-1 run lasting over five and a half minutes to cut Kent State’s lead to 30-27 with 1:11 remaining in the second stanza. The Golden Flashes’ offense did not come close to matching its 60 percent clip from the opening quarter, failing to make a field goal during a 7:02 stretch. The Eagles took the momentum and a manageable 32-27 deficit into the locker room.

The Green and White picked up where it left off to begin the second half, scoring the first six points of the third quarter to grab a 33-32 advantage, EMU’s first lead since going ahead 2-0 in the opening minute. Down 37-33, the Eagles replied with an 8-0 run to take a 41-37 lead with 4:10 to play in the third quarter. EMU led by as many as five, but the score was tied, 47-47, heading into the fourth quarter.

At first glance, the Eagles’ momentum appeared to have run out, trailing by as many as 10 in the fourth quarter. However, the Green and White mounted another frantic comeback, using an 8-1 run to trim Kent State’s advantage to 63-60 with 16.5 seconds remaining in the final frame. This time, the Golden Flashes closed out the contest by making four free throws as EMU fell by seven points.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – A tip-in with less than a second to go by redshirt junior Emoni Jackson lifted the Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team to a 54-52 win over Bowling Green State University Wednesday night, Jan. 3, inside the Stroh Center. The Eagles (5-8, 1-1 MAC) erased a 13-point deficit to walk away with their first win in the Stroh Center since 2005.

Neither team shot the ball particularly well, but Eastern Michigan’s strong performance at the charity stripe led the Green and White to the win. EMU converted 31.5 percent of its shots and 4-of-13 attempts from distance, while BGSU (8-5, 0-2 MAC) finished 17-of-53 from the floor. At the stripe, the Falcons went 10-for-15, while the Eagles knocked down 16-of-22 free throw attempts.

On the defensive end, Eastern tallied 14 steals and forced Bowling Green to commit 25 turnovers. Three Eagles registered three thefts each, while seven different players recorded at least one.

Redshirt junior Danielle Minott turned in a career-high 19 points to go along with two rebounds, three steals, and an assist. Senior Sasha Dailey continued to work her way towards the 1,000-point club with a 15-point performance, while freshman Courtnie Lewis and Jackson added eight and seven points, respectively.

A back-and-forth game early, Bowling Green caught fire from beyond the arc, knocking down 4-of-6 triples to take a 22-14 lead into the second period. BGSU’s long range shooting erased a five point EMU lead and disrupted Eastern Michigan’s rhythm offensively.

The shooting woes carried into the second quarter, as the Eagles began the period 0-for-6 from the floor. Five free throws kept the Green and White in striking distance though, making it a 10-point, 2919, game at the media timeout.

With EMU’s defense tightening up, BGSU’s offense stalled, only managing points from the free throw line over the final five minute of the half. Meanwhile, Minott knocked down a triple and Lewis added freebies from the line to cut the Falcons’ lead to seven, 31-24, at the break.

Minott and Dailey led the Eagles comeback out of halftime, combining for 13 points over the first seven minutes of the half. Dailey got things going with a triple, before Minott chipped in from the free throw line. Then, a Dailey three-ball was followed by Minott’s second trey of the day, putting Eastern Michigan in front by one. With all of the momentum in their favor, Dailey drove to the hoop for a lay-in to extend EMU’s lead to three, 39-36, and force a BGSU timeout. The break proved to be timely for Bowling Green, as the Falcons capped an 8-1 run with a three-pointer at the buzzer to take a 44-40 advantage into the final period.

A Lewis layup with 5:30 to play tied the score at 47, setting up Eastern Michigan’s late game heroics. Dailey rattled off five points over the next three and a half minutes to give EMU a 52-49 lead with 1:50 left on the clock.

An offensive rebound was kicked out to the wing where Bowling Green’s Haley Puk knotted the score back up at 52 with 28 seconds on the clock. Running the last play of the game, Minott’s jumper missed the mark and Lewis’ put-back caught the back iron. Leaping up in the middle of the lane, Jackson tipped in the shot with four tenths of a second left. With EMU in the lead 54-52, BGSU could not get a shot off, sealing the two-point win for the Eagles.

Offense’s cooled off from there, as a swipe led to a pair of free throws by Dailey to make it 22-18 Miami after 10 minutes of play.

Miami’s offense slowed in the second quarter, in large part to Eastern’s ability to switch up things on the defensive end.

EMU held MU to just 25.0 percent shooting the period, while converting shots at a 55.6 clip itself. The Eagles outscored the RedHawks 23-12 in the quarter as Minott and Agosto chipped in six points apiece to take a 41-34 edge into the break.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team saw its three-game win streak come to an end against Miami University Wednesday, Jan. 24, inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (9-10, 5-3 MAC) led the RedHawks (11-8, 3-5 MAC) by one with under a minute remaining in regulation, but MU used a slew of free throws down the stretch to hand EMU a 73-69 setback.

Senior Sasha Dailey paced the Green and White with a season-best 26 points to go with four rebounds and two assists.

Freshman Courtnie Lewis tallied 11 points, three boards, and a team-high three steals. Reigning Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week, redshirt junior Danielle Minott contributed 11 points and six rebounds, while fellow redshirt junior Emoni Jackson added four points to go with a team-leading 13 boards. It was Jackson’s third straight game with 10+ boards.

EMU shot 43.8 percent from the floor, connecting on 28-of-64 field goal attempts, while MU finished at a 45 percent (27-of60) clip. The Eagles out-rebounded the RedHawks 37-31, and earned 44 points in the paint compared to MU’s total of 34.

EMU led by as many as four in a back-and-forth opening period featuring two ties and five lead changes. Tied at 15, a mid-range jumper from Dailey put the Green and White back on top, 17-15, with 17 ticks left in the first frame.

Trailing 23-17, EMU responded with an 8-2 run to level the score at 25 with 3:05 left in the second period. Even though the RedHawks failed to make a field goal for a stretch lasting nearly six minutes, the Eagles took a 32-25 deficit into the intermission.

Down 36-29, Dailey split a pair of free throws before Minott made an uncontested layup to cut MU’s lead to 36-32, prompting the RedHawks to burn a full timeout with 6:48 left in the third quarter. The Eagles continued to chip away at the deficit, with a layup from Dailey eventually evening the score at 41 with 3:18 to go in the third stanza.

Despite falling behind by as many as six early in the fourth, a three-point play by Dailey capped a 6-0 run to put the Eagles ahead, 58-57, with 4:57 left in the final frame. After MU grabbed a 68-66 lead, Lewis replied with a three-ball to give EMU a 69-68 edge with 56.2 seconds remaining in regulation. However, MU sophomore Lauren Dickerson sank four consecutive free throws as the RedHawks took a 72-69 lead with 16.8 seconds to play in the second half.

The Eagles had the ball and a chance to tie the game with the shot clock turned off, but a three-point attempt fell short and the RedHawks came away with the defensive rebound.

Dickerson hit another free throw as MU handed EMU its second defeat in seven contests this season inside the Convocation Center.

AMHERST, N.Y. (EMUEagles.com) – A three-pointer with 39 seconds left in regulation by redshirt junior Danielle Minott forced overtime between the Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team and the Mid-American Conference East-leading University at Buffalo Saturday, Jan. 27, inside Alumni Arena. Minott’s clutch three was part of a record breaking performance in which the Miami, Fla. native rewrote the record book with a 44-point effort in a 97-92 setback for EMU. Minott’s 44 points are the most by an Eagle since former EMU great Tavelyn James netted 41 points against Northeastern, Nov. 11, 2011.

Additionally, Minott scored the most points by a player in the MAC this season, and became just the fifth player in NCAA Division I women’s basketball to score 44-or-more. The Miami, Fla. native completed the game 14-of-29 from the floor, knocked down eight triples, and added five rebounds, three steals, and a block. Her eight three-pointers are the second-most in EMU history, as well as the most since Sydney Huntley sank eight against Central Michigan, Feb. 20, 2010.

As a team, the Eagles shot at a 43.4 percent clip, converting 33-of76 attempts, including nine three-pointers. The Bulls were not far off, finishing 42.3 percent from the field and 7-of-18 from beyond the arc.

Freshman Courtnie Lewis became the second Eagle to register a double-double this season, scoring 22 points and adding a career-high 11 rebounds, as the only other player to score in double figures for EMU. Graduate student Tiffany Suarez also added a career-high eight points.

Behind Lewis’ double-double Eastern Michigan won the rebounding battle, 50-43. Redshirt junior Emoni Jackson chipped in nine rebounds, while freshman Juanita Agosto contributed a career-high tying eight boards.

Minott scored EMU’s first five points, before Buffalo rattled off nine straight to take an 11-5 lead midway through the first period.

Weathering the push by the Bulls, the Eagles battled back with a 10-4 run of their own, capped by a basket off an in-bounds by Minott to tie the score at 15.

Neither team gained an advantage of more than four in the second period, as EMU and UB traded buckets over the first five minutes of the frame, leaving the Bulls in front, 29-28, at the media timeout. Despite holding Buffalo without a field goal for the final four minutes of the half, free throws allowed UB to keep pace and take a slim, 36-34, edge into the break.

A sloppy start to the second half that included six turnovers and a five-minute scoring drought by the Eagles allowed the Bulls to gain their largest lead of the game, 48-40, with 4:53 to go in the period.

Buffalo pushed its advantage to 10, but Minott and Eastern clawed back within three, 55-52. Minott knocked down a corner three and few free throws, while Lewis and Suarez added layups to bring the game within a possession.

Entering the fourth quarter trailing by six, 60-54, a Minott jumper with 2:38 on the clock brought EMU within a bucket, 73-71. UB quickly responded with a three-ball on the other end, but Eastern used a 7-3 run capped by a Minott triple to even the score at 80 and force OT. In overtime, Eastern regained the lead, 89-88, on a jumper by Suarez, but followed the play up with a three minute scoring drought that allowed Buffalo to pull away. The Green and White made another push in the final minute, but UB converted free throws down the stretch to defeat EMU, 97-92.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team could not keep up with Central Michigan University’s high-flying offense, falling in a 95-72 decision Saturday, Feb. 3 inside the Convocation Center.

Looking to bounce back after a heartbreaking overtime loss at the University at Buffalo, the Eagles (9-12, 5-5 MAC) were unable to halt the Chippewas’ (18-3, 10-0 MAC) unbeaten start to Mid-American Conference play.

Freshman Courtnie Lewis led the Green and White with 20 points and seven rebounds, reaching the 20-point mark for the third time this season. Redshirt junior and reigning MAC West Division Co-Player of the Week Danielle Minott recorded 17 points, five boards, and a team-high two steals.

Senior Sasha Dailey tallied 10 points, one assist, and one swipe.

EMU finished a respectable 46.8 percent from the floor, connecting on 29-of-62 field goal attempts, while CMU managed a 61.4 percent (35-of-57) efficiency. The Green and White pulled down 13 offensive rebounds leading to 17 second-chance points, and logged 20 bench points.

Trailing 6-1 in the early stages, Lewis converted back-toback layups to cut the deficit to one with 5:58 remaining in the opening quarter. The Eagles held the Chippewas within striking distance for most of the frame, but trailed 19-14 after one period of play.

The Green and White showed significant improvement on offense in the second quarter, going 53.8 percent (7-of13) from the field. Down by as many as 11 in the first half, the Eagles took a 36-28 deficit into the locker room.

CMU’s offense proved to be too much in the third quarter, outscoring EMU 32-20 as the Eagles went behind, 68-48.

The Green and White clawed its way back into the contest, at one stage going on a 6-0 run to cut the Chippewas’ lead to 82-68 with 2:40 to go in the fourth quarter. However, EMU could not string together another run, falling to CMU, 95-72.

MUNCIE, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) – A career-high-tying performance by freshman Courtnie Lewis was not enough for the Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team to overcome a short bench in a 91-85 defeat at Ball State University Wednesday, Feb. 7.

The Green and White (9-13, 5-6 MAC) finished the day 35-fo78 from the field for its fifth straight game shooting above a 40.0 percent clip, while the Cardinals (19-4, 8-4 MAC) finished 30-of-61 from the floor for a 49.2 field goal percentage. EMU held the edge from beyond the arc, knocking down seven triples to BSU’s two, but Ball State went 27-of-32 at the charity stripe to hold off Eastern Michigan.

Lewis led all scorers with a career-high 29 points, narrowly missing a double-double with nine rebounds. Three other Eagles reached double figures as redshirt junior Danielle Minott finished with 13 points and redshirt freshman Corrione Cardwell and senior Micah Robinson chipped in 12 apiece. Cardwell’s 12-point performance was a careerhigh, while she also registered three assists.

Eastern Michigan came out strong, running out to a 5-0 lead before Ball State battled back to even the score at 14 with 3:50 to go in the first quarter. The Cardinals gained their first lead of the game with three and a half minutes to go, and expanded their advantage to seven, 29-22, behind a 9-1 run. Jackson cut the deficit to five, knocking down a baseline jumper just before the buzzer to leave the score, 29-24, in favor of BSU through one quarter.

Just as they did in the first, the Eagles rattled off five straight points, capped by a Robinson triple to regain the lead, 31-29. A jumper spelled a three-minute scoring drought for the Cardinals and evened the score at 31. Trading buckets on both ends, the score was knotted at 39 with four minutes to go, until Eastern Michigan’s offense caught fire. EMU doubled up BSU, 10-5, to close the half behind five points

by Lewis and a clutch three-point play by redshirt junior Lorraine Enabulele to take a five-point lead into the break.

EMU saw its lead erased in a hurry as BSU used a 14-2 run over the first five minutes of the half to take a 58-51 lead. The Green and White turned the ball over six times and used two timeouts to try and slow the Cardinals, but could not get any closer than five as Ball State led 69-60 into the final period.

In the fourth quarter, the Cardinals pushed their advantage to a game-high 11, 85-74, with 2:33 left to play. The Eagle defense tightened up from that point, forcing the Cardinals to get their points at the charity stripe down the stretch, but fouls piled up as the Eagles fell short, 91-85.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team opened a two-game homestand with a 77-65 defeat to the University of Akron Sunday, Feb. 11, inside the Convocation Center.

Trailing by as many as 17 in the fourth quarter, the Eagles (9-14 5-7 MAC) cut the deficit to five with 4:39 remaining in regulation, but their comeback bid was held off by the Zips (8-16, 2-11 MAC). EMU went 36.7 percent from the field on 22-of-60 shooting, converting 6-of-16 attempts from beyond the arc, while Akron finished 43.1 percent (28-of-65) from the floor.

On the heels of a career-high 29-point performance at Ball State, Feb. 7, freshman Courtnie Lewis narrowly missed out on her fourth consecutive 20-point effort, pacing the Green and White with 19 points, while pulling down six rebounds.

Making her return to the lineup, senior Sasha Dailey added 17 points and tied for the team lead with seven boards and three assists. Redshirt junior Danielle Minott contributed nine points, seven boards, three assists, and a team-high three swipes.

After falling behind 4-0 in the early stages, Dailey’s corner three put the Eagles on the board with 6:54 to go in the opening quarter. Down 7-5, EMU fought back with a 5-0 run to grab a 10-7 lead with 3:24 remaining in the first frame. The Green and White remained in front, 14-11, after one quarter of play.

EMU added to its lead early in the second quarter, as Lewis connected on a pair of triples to give the Eagles a 24-19 edge with six minutes left in the first half. Leading 26-22, momentum suddenly shifted Akron’s way as the Zips used an 18-4 run to build a 40-30 lead with 16 seconds remaining in the second period. Lewis knocked down a mid-range jumper with just over a second left in the half to trim the Eagles’ deficit to 40-32 heading into the intermission.

Minott’s first triple of the contest cut Akron’s lead to 4237 with 7:59 to play in the third quarter. However, this was as close as the Eagles would get in the frame, as the Zips restored their double-digit cushion and led 56-45 after three quarters.

The Green and White did not go away quietly, with Robinson converting on a four-point play to cut the Zips’ advantage to 62-49 with 7:10 left in regulation. In total, the Eagles went on a 9-0 run lasting nearly three minutes and trailed 62-57 with 4:39 to play. In the end, EMU’s comeback bid ran out of gas as the Eagles fell to the Zips, 77-65.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team got back in the win column with a gritty come-from-behind, 73-58, victory in a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional clash against Ohio University Wednesday, Feb. 14, inside the Convocation Center.

The Eagles (10-14, 6-7 MAC) snapped a five-game skid and ended a streak of 11 consecutive defeats in the month of February after earning a vital 15-point win over the Bobcats (1311, 7-6 MAC).

Redshirt junior Danielle Minott eclipsed the 20-point plateau for the fourth time this season, leading all scorers with 24 points while adding nine rebounds and a team-high five assists. Senior Sasha Dailey recorded 19 points, four boards, three helpers, and a team-best three steals in 40 minutes of action. Freshman Courtnie Lewis tallied 14 points and 11 boards for her second double-double of the campaign.

EMU was the superior team on both sides of the ball, shooting 45.2 percent from the floor on 28-of-62 field goal attempts, while the Bobcats finished at a 35.7 percent (20-of-56) clip. The Green and White turned 17 Ohio turnovers into 17 points and scored 36 points in the paint compared to the Bobcats’ total of 20.

OU’s four-point frame were the fewest EMU has allowed in a quarter this season.

The Bobcats opened the second half with a 12-3 run as the Eagles fell behind, 39-30, with 6:12 to play in the third quarter.

The stoppage failed to halt the Green and White’s momentum, as Minott’s three-point basket put the Eagles in front, 63-54, with 3:12 to go in the fourth quarter. EMU wrapped up the contest with a 20-6 run en route to a 73-58 win over Ohio.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team battled until the end, but ultimately came up short against Central Michigan University Saturday, Feb. 17, in Mid-American Conference action inside McGuirk Arena. The Eagles (10-15, 6-8 MAC) clawed their way back within three in the fourth quarter, but the Chippewas (21-4, 13-1 MAC) held off EMU, 95-82.

As a team, Eastern Michigan finished the game 29-of-68 from the field for a 42.6 percent clip. EMU’s offensive performance was highlighted by an 11-of-21 showing from three-point range, the most triples by the Eagles since Feb. 14, 2015 when Eastern knocked down 13 three’s against Central.

Freshman Courtnie Lewis finished one point off her careerhigh, leading Eastern Michigan with 28 points. Lewis finished 10-of-17 from the field, including a career-best six three pointers. Also finishing in double figures for EMU were redshirt junior Danielle Minott and senior Sasha Dailey. Minott scored 21 points, 17 of which came in the second half, while adding a team-high eight rebounds. Meanwhile, Dailey chipped in 14 points and a season-high six assists.

Central Michigan hit three triples over the first three and a half minutes of play, forcing Eastern to take a timeout, trailing 11-3. Out of the break, redshirt freshman Corrione Cardwell cut CMU’s lead in half with layups on back-to-back possessions, but the Chips fired back with another triple to take a 14-7 lead midway through the quarter.

After a layup pushed Central’s edge to nine, Lewis knocked down a three-pointer, sparking an 8-2 Eastern run to close the period. Ripping a rebound down on CMU’s next possession, Lewis fired a pass to Dailey on the break for an easy two, before EMU capped the run with a swipe and score by Minott.

Through one frame, the Green and White trailed 18-15.

Eastern Michigan pulled within a bucket, 24-22, on Dailey’s jumper with seven minutes to go in the half, but Central Michigan responded with a 25-7 run to break the game open before taking a 14-point, 50-36, advantage to the locker room.

The Green and White clawed its way back behind the play of Minott and Lewis as the duo combined for nine and 12 points, respectively. Outscoring the Chippewas 30-23 in the period, the Eagles went to the final stanza trailing, 73-66.

Trading baskets early on, a four-point play by Lewis made it a one possession game. Hitting a triple from the wing and getting fouled in the process, Lewis converted from the stripe.

From there though, the Chippewas closed out the game on a 17-4 run to send the Eagles home with a 95-82 setback.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team cut a 19-point deficit to five, but could not get any closer in its attempt to spoil Western Michigan University’s Senior Day Wednesday night, Feb. 28. The Eagles’ (10-18, 6-11 MAC) comeback ran out of steam late, as the Broncos (15-14, 8-9 MAC) downed EMU, 74-66.

The Green and White shot 42.4 percent from the field, knocking down 25-of-59 shots. WMU finished 27-of-58 from the floor for a 46.6 clip, including a 7-of-18 showing from beyond the arc.

Freshman Courtnie Lewis chipped in 14 points in her return to action, while redshirt freshman Corrione Cardwell and senior Sasha Dailey added 10 points apiece.

On the glass, EMU won the rebounding battle by a slim, 36-35, margin. The Eagles were paced by freshman Juanita Agosto, who grabbed a team-best seven boards, while Minott, Dailey, and redshirt junior Emoni Jackson all grabbed five caroms each.

Western Michigan led in the early goings before defense led to offense for Eastern Michigan. Four steals and a block for the Green and White fueled a 6-2 run that was capped by an Agosto layup to give EMU its first lead of the game, 12-9.

WMU fought back though, using three triples over the final two minutes to take a 20-16 lead into the second quarter.

The Broncos controlled the second quarter from start to finish, opening up the frame on an 12-2 run over eight minutes.

The Eagles’ lone points came at the free throw line, as Minott converted a pair of free throws to open the frame, before a Lewis three-ball ended a seven-minute scoring drought for Eastern. EMU committed nine turnovers in the period, the last of which came with the clock winding down to give WMU its final bucket of the half, as Eastern trailed 34-21 at the break.

EMU’s offense started clicking in the third quarter, as the Eagles shot a blistering 57.1 percent from the field. Back-toback three-point plays by Minott, cut Western’s advantage to six, 46-40, with three minutes to go, but the Broncos pushed their lead back to nine, 54-45, into the fourth.

The Green and White chipped away in the final stanza, but could get no closer than seven, as EMU fell, 74-66.

The Eagles finished 6-6 inside the Convocation Center this year following their defeat to the Cardinals, marking the 18th time in 20 seasons EMU has finished at least .500 at home.

Senior Sasha Dailey paced the Green and White with 19 points to go along with three rebounds and a team-high four steals, while freshman Courtnie Lewis registered 18 points and five boards. Senior Tori Easley recorded two points and pulled down a season-high seven boards, while senior Micah Robinson added four rebounds and a pair of helpers. Redshirt senior Tiffany Suarez also contributed two points and one assist in her final game inside the Convo.

EMU struggled on the offensive end, finishing 31.4 percent from the floor on 22-of-70 shooting, knocking down 12-of-15 attempts from the charity stripe. Ball State went 53.2 percent (33-of-62) from the field and connected on 10 triples. The Green and White netted 38 bench points compared to the Cardinals’ total of 12, and matched Ball State in second-chance points and points off turnovers.

All four seniors opened the contest for the Eagles, with freshman Autumn Hudson rounding out the starting five.

Hudson grabbed an offensive rebound and hit an uncontested layup to break the scoreless tie 30 seconds into the game.

Dailey’s first triple of the afternoon gave the Eagles a 5-2 lead with 8:34 left in the first frame. However, the Cardinals responded with a slew of three-pointers to open up a 20-11 advantage with 1:30 remaining in the opening stanza. Redshirt junior Danielle Minott sank a pair of free throws before Dailey buried a layup as the Eagles trailed 20-15 after one quarter of play.

After the Eagles fell behind 29-17, Lewis knocked down a pair of threes to cut Ball State’s lead to 31-23 with 4:16 left in the second period. A lackluster performance at the free-throw line prevented the Cardinals from building a larger cushion in the opening half, as the Green and White took a 42-31 deficit into the locker room.

EMU struggled to keep up with a Ball State squad that ranked third in the Mid-American Conference standings, trailing 67-46 after three quarters. Nine different Eagles scored at least two points as the Green and White closed out the game on a 7-0 run, but fell short against the Cardinals, 88-63.

DEKALB, Ill. (EMUEagles.com) - An incredible defensive performance in the fourth quarter fueled the No. 9 Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team to an 84-77 upset over No. 8-seeded Northern Illinois University Monday night, March 5, at the NIU Convocation Center. EMU (11-19, 6-12 MAC) held NIU (15-15, 7-11 MAC) without a field goal for the final four minutes to oust the Huskies from the first round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament.

With the win, Eastern Michigan registered its seventh tournament win over a better-ranked opponent in program history, and its first since 2016. Additionally, EMU is the first MAC team seeded nine-orbelow to win since the 2015 season.

Redshirt junior Danielle Minott and freshman Courtnie Lewis poured in 22 points apiece to lead EMU as four Eagles reached double figures. Senior Micah Robinson came up clutch off the bench, scoring 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting to go along with two steals, an assist, and a block. Redshirt junior Emoni Jackson added 12 points in her return to the starting lineup.

Seniors Tori Easley and Sasha Dailey also made the most of their minutes, as Easley led the Eagles with a season-high eight rebounds. Dailey was EMU’s top distributor, dishing out a seasonhigh six assists to go along with three swipes.

NIU hit five of its first seven shots from the field to take a 12-4 lead, forcing an EMU timeout with 6:07 to go in the opening frame.

From there, Eastern’s defense locked in, holding Northern Illinois without a field goal for nearly four minutes to cut within four, 20-16 after one quarter.

The Huskies extended their advantage to 10 over the first seven minutes of the second period, before the Eagles started clicking. A Minott layup and a Lewis three-point play jumpstarted a 13-4 run spanning the last three minutes of the period to send the Green and White into the locker room trailing by one, 38-37.

Eastern Michigan struck first in the second half, as a Dailey layup put EMU in front for the first time all night. EMU’s 39-38 edge did not last long though, as NIU answered with a three-point play on the other end to regain the lead. Trading buckets back and forth, Northern Illinois held onto a one-point advantage, 54-53, when the media timeout rolled around with 3:44 on the clock.

Behind the play of Robinson, who scored five points over the last two and a half minutes, the Eagles held a 60-59 lead to open the final stanza.

Eastern Michigan remained in front for the first five minutes before Northern Illinois took a 71-70 edge on a layup. EMU rallied back behind the play of its seniors, holding NIU without a field goal for the final 4:18 and closing out the game on a 9-0 run to upset the Huskies, 84-77.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – The No. 9-ranked Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team saw its 2017-18 season come to an end in heartbreaking fashion at the hands of No. 1 Central Michigan University. An incredible comeback was halted as EMU’s shot at the buzzer missed sealing a, 67-64, defeat in the quarterfinal round of the MidAmerican Conference Tournament, Wednesday, March 7, at Quicken Loans Arena.

EMU (11-20, 6-12 MAC) mounted a furious comeback in the fourth quarter, rattling off 10 straight points and getting what once was a 21-point deficit to as close as one point. In the end, CMU (26-4, 17-1 MAC) hung on to advance to the semi-final round.

An abysmal first quarter in which Eastern scored just five points and shot 11 percent (2-of-18) from the floor doomed the Green and White, as the Chippewas put together a 21-point performance on 53-percent (9-of-17) shooting to take control, 21-5, after 10 minutes.

Eastern would go on to out-score Central in each of the next three quarters, but the 16-point deficit from the first proved too much to overcome. The five points tied for the second-fewest in a quarter for the Eagles this season.

The comeback was led by redshirt junior Danielle Minott, who scored 16 of her game-high 27 points in the fourth quarter. Senior Sasha Dailey added 13 points and five rebounds, while freshman Courtnie Lewis chipped in 12 points and 4 rebounds. Senior Tori Easley, led Eastern with six rebounds in her final game for the Green and White.

Eastern recovered from its rough opening quarter to shoot 34 percent (25-of-74) from the floor, while Central finished with a 45-percent (26-of-58) mark. The Eagles made it a game on the heels of its impressive pressure defense, forcing the Chippewas into 23 turnovers while only committing seven themselves. CMU won the rebounding battle, 50-34, and had eight assists to EMU’s four.

Minott’s 27 points gave her the fifth-best scoring season for a junior in Eastern Michigan history, finishing with 483.

Lewis moved into second place in the EMU record book with her 12-point performance, finishing her rookie season with 435 points, trailing only Cha Sweeney.

Eastern Michigan University Women’s Basketball 2004 and 2012 Mid-American Conference Tournament Champions • 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2012 Mid-American Conference West Division Champions

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 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

Eastern Michigan University Women’s Basketball 2004 and 2012 Mid-American Conference Tournament Champions • 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2012 Mid-American Conference West Division Champions

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 65-53 102

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.

Eastern Michigan University Women’s Basketball 2004 and 2012 Mid-American Conference Tournament Champions • 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2012 Mid-American Conference West Division Champions

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.
