Bell’s career night not enough as Eagles fall to UC Davis
CHENEY — The Eastern Washington Eagles (1-5) dropped their fourth straight game 49-38 to UC Davis on Saturday. The Eagles fall to 0-3 in the Big Sky while the Aggies improved to 2-1 in conference and 4-2 overall, according to a statement by EWU Athletics. “We played angrier, but it was a common theme,” Head Coach Aaron Best said in an EWU Athletics statement. “We gave up too many explosive plays on defense and couldn't chisel out seven-point opportunities and had to settle for field goals too often on offense.” UC Davis dominated on the ground against Eastern, with Jordan Fisher leading the way with 255 yards on 20 carries and two touchdowns – his longest run of the night going for 87 yards, according to UC Davis Athletics.
