LA GRANDE, Ore. –The Eastern Oregon University women’s soccer team has been named the “Team of the Week” for September 18-24, the Cascade Collegiate Conference announced Sunday.
After a week one postponement of their CCC opener against Warner Pacific College due to poor air quality, Eastern returned home and secured victories against Northwest University and The Evergreen State College.
