Boise, ID - Weber State fell to the No. 1 seeded Eastern Washington Eagles 71-58 this Sunday afternoon at the Idaho Central Arena. The loss ends the Wildcats time in the Big Sky Tournament.
With an early 10-2 lead for the Wildcats, Weber State was rolling in the first five minutes of the quarter. Until a run made by the Eagles tied up the score 12-12. However, not dropping the advantage, Weber State held 16-16 to end the quarter.
Staying competitive in the second Weber State held a two-point lead over the Eagles heading into the media timeout. With both teams scoreless for close to five minutes, Eastern Washington's poor shooting at 21.1 percent kept them down while WSU shot 40 percent from the field. Jadyn Matthews led the Wildcats into the half with eight points and eight rebounds.
Up 38-31 in the third quarter, the Wildcat offense held strong. A Matthews 3-pointer kept the Wildcats in the lead 43-34 into the media. Weber State kept that lead for the majority of the third quarter, until the last minute when Eastern Washington went up by one 47-46.
The final frame was the downfall for the Wildcats, as an Eagle run boosted Eastern Washington 61-52 over the 'Cats. The Eagles went on to win the game 71-58 and advance in the Big Sky Tournament.
