For four quarters fans here at Idaho Central Arena watched an absolute battle for the books in the Big Sky Women's Basketball Championship. In a game where Eastern Washington was down 10 to Northern Arizona going into the second quarter, the Eagles came out on top 73-64 punching their ticket to the NCAA tournament. I talked to some fans after the game!
