With fall sports in full swing, here’s a look at some of this week's top stories from Eastern Michigan University’s various athletic disciplines.
Football | Eastern Michigan returns from bye with matchup against Bowling Green
Eastern Michigan’s football team will return to Rynearson Stadium on Nov. 8, 2025, at 1 p.m. After last week's bye, the Eastern Eagles will be in line for a Mid-American Conference matchup with the Bowling Green State University Falcons.
Both teams hold losing records and are looking to get back on track. Eastern holds a 1-4 record in the MAC after their loss to the Ohio University Bobcats prior to the bye.
Noah Kim, the Eagles quarterback, is the second leading passer in the MAC. He will lead the Eagles on Saturday in hopes of getting back in the win column against a struggling Bowling Green defense that has allowed 25 points a game on average this season.
Eastern holds a historical 14-25 record against Bowling Green with their first-ever matchup being back in 1919. However, their most recent contest ended in an Eagles victory back in 2021.
All the action can be streamed live on ESPN+.
Men’s Basketball | Eastern Michigan faces off against Power 4 opponent Pittsburgh
The Eastern Michigan men’s basketball team will head to Pittsburgh to do battle with the University of Pittsburgh Panthers on Monday, Nov. 10, 2025, at 7 p.m.
This will be the first road game for the Eagles as they approach an overhauled Panthers team. Pittsburgh has lost four of its five leading scorers from last year's team as both squads hit the reset button on their rosters over the offseason.
Eastern has four returning players, with transfers and new recruits making up the rest of the roster. New faces will control the outcome for Eastern as they look to make a run deep into March.
The Eagles are 1-3 against Pittsburgh with their last game going into triple overtime in a 93-90 loss for the Eagles back in 2016.
Viewers can catch the game on ACCNX, while live stats will be on the Eastern Michigan Athletics website.
Women's Basketball | Sahar Nusseibeh leads Eastern Michigan in matchup against former school
On Nov. 7, 2025, another Eastern team will be looking to put a win in the books. The Eastern Michigan women’s basketball team will be in Buffalo taking on the Canisius University Golden Griffins for their second straight away game to begin the season.
The Eagles have a 6-2 record over the Griffins with their last game being played back in 2011.
The Eagles will showcase a completely new team as there are only two players remaining from the 2024-25 season. The team is filled with transfers and seven freshman recruits from across the world.
Second-year head coach for the Eagles, Sahar Nusseibeh, will look to quickly turn around the program and return to the success of Eastern’s winning past. Nusseibeh was the former Golden Griffins head coach from 2021-24.
Eagles forward Sisi Eleko will have a major role in helping Eagles to victory this season after earning Preseason All-MAC First Team for the upcoming season.
Viewers can catch all the action between Eastern Michigan and Canisius University Nov. 7 on ESPN+ at 6:30 p.m.
Men’s Golf | Eastern Michigan gears up to compete in Kapolei Invitational
On Nov. 4, 2025, the men’s golf team will compete in the Kapolei Invitational, a three day tournament in Kapolei, Hawaii.
This will be their last outing until February, so the Eagles will look to make it count as they are led by two-time MAC golfer of the week Charlie Box, the junior from Leicester, England, along with Tim Chan and Robby Turnbull.
Box will look to continue his hot hand after dominating at the West Bay Collegiate Invitational in Florida and hope to give this Eastern team momentum going into the winter season.
