Andrew Cook scored 23 points to lead Eastern Washington (1-7). Sebastian Hartmann made three 3-pointers and finished with 16 points for the Eagles, who made 17 of 18 free throws and 11 of 30 (37%) from long range.
Cook scored nine points and the Eagles made three 3s during a 20-7 run to get within 77-73.
