NORMAL, Ill. (EMUEagles.com) – A fourth quarter comeback fell just short as the Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team could not overcome an early deficit against Illinois State University Sunday afternoon, Dec. 10, at Redbird Arena. The Eagles (2-7) trailed by as many as 18 before making it a two-possession game late in the fourth quarter, but the Redbirds' (4-4) free throws down the stretch handed EMU a 65-56 setback.
It was a tale of two halves offensively for the Green and White, as EMU connected on more than 50 percent of its shots in the second half.
