Mate Okros was coming off a season-best 14-point performance against Coppin State and turned in a six-point and four-assist outing in Drexel’s loss to La Salle last Saturday. Amari Williams, meanwhile, is averaging just over six minutes per contest to start his freshman season.
The Dragons (3-2) have a pair of games on this week’s slate beginning on Thursday versus Saint Joseph’s, before travelling up I-95 to New York for an afternoon matchup with Fairleigh Dickinson on Saturday.
Milly Knowles was held scoreless in 26 minutes of action in Eastern Washington’s defeat at Boise State last Thursday, but she hauled in five rebounds and made two blocks. The redshirt sophomore has started every game for the Eagles this season.
Eastern Washington (0-4) is coming off a loss to Grand Canyon on Monday to start Week 4, but looks to rebound vs. Seattle on Saturday. Tip-off is scheduled for 2:05 p.m. local and 10:05 p.m. GMT.
