Eastern Michigan women’s basketball announces they’re for real with win over North Dakota State

The undefeated Eastern Michigan women’s basketball team took on a North Dakota State team that was 6-0 on Thursday night. While the game was tight early on, the Eagles flew away in the second half— in a good way.

They finished with a 73-55 win, as four Eagles finished in double digits, with Lachelle Austin leading the way with 17. Tayra Eke was a stat sheet stuffer with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 1 block, 4 steals and she’ll work on her assist game.

There were a few take-aways from this game.

I was impressed with Coach Casto when he first took the job, and his teams early on showed a lot of scrappy.
