EMU women are out in the MAC quarterfinals to Ohio U 76-62

They fell behind big early and bravely tried to battle back but Ohio U was able to handle things in the end. Eastern trailed by 18 early in the second half and cut that lead down to 5 but in the end it was the Lady Bobcats (We don't know if they actually call themselves that but it rolls off the tongue you gotta admit) who prevail. EMU finishes their season at 17-12 and a share of the MAC West Championship under first year coach AnnMarie Gilbert. They didn't get as far in the tournament as we'd hoped BUT, Ypsilanti, Gilbert is one good coach and this program maintained poise after a mediocre start as the entire gameplan changed and they hung together and met with some success. With Canea Williams, Kelly Watts and Alyssa Pittman all back next year this team can do some things.

108-22 over Temple Baptist, man everybody got free tacos that night. The guy at the Taco Bell was crying.
