Eastern Washington University's women's basketball team enters the upcoming season with four returning starters, positioning the Eagles to build on previous success. The Spokane-based program, which competes in the Big Sky Conference, retains a core group of experienced players as it prepares for the 2026-27 campaign.
Head coach Joddie Gleason returns a veteran lineup that provides continuity and leadership for a squad looking to advance in conference play. The four returning starters give Eastern Washington a foundation of familiarity with the system and expectations heading into preseason practices.
The Eagles finished the previous season with a competitive record in Big Sky play and will aim to translate returning experience into improved conference standing. Preseason preparations are underway at Reese Court in Cheney, Washington, with the regular season schedule set to begin in November.
