If I'm not mistaken, Eastern cliches the Dam Cup with either a women's b-ball win at home v. Portland State, or a men's b-ball victory on the road.
If our v-ball team had shown any signs of life, this wouldn't even be close. Or women's soccer. It's almost like we spot them a 3 point lead every year as neither of those programs have been worth much in a long time. I'm not sure what happened with volleyball, because we were such a dominant program for so long, and then it just completely fell apart at the seams. Glad to see Wade Benson is back; I think he'll get that ship righted fairly quickly.
