CHENEY, Wash. (Interstat) — The undefeated Southern Utah Thunderbirds visit the Eastern Washington Eagles on Thursday in an early-season Big Sky Conference women’s basketball matchup at Reese Court.

Southern Utah (2-0) enters the contest with momentum after a 77-64 victory over Washington State on Saturday. Brooklyn Fely led the Thunderbirds with a dominant 20-point, 13-rebound double-double, while Ava Uhrich added 11 points and nine rebounds. The Thunderbirds’ offense has been potent, averaging 90 points per game after a 103-point performance against Park University in their season opener.

Eastern Washington (1-1) looks to rebound on its home court following a 58-73 road loss to Arizona State. Elyn Bowers paced the Eagles with 15 points in that contest. Eastern Washington showcased its own offensive capabilities in a 99-43 rout of Northwest University to start the season.

The game will be the conference opener for both teams. Southern Utah’s high-scoring attack, led by Fely and Uhrich, will test an Eastern Washington defense that allowed 73 points in its first road test. The Eagles will rely on Bowers and Kourtney Grossman, who scored 11 points against Arizona State, to counter.

Tip-off is set for Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025.
