"They are really putting all of the components for success together to peak at the right time."
 
USU Eastern has done well throughout the season, holding a record of 24-7 overall and 5-2 in the Scenic West Athletic Conference coming into the match. In their previous matchup, the Eagles earned a 3-0 win over CNCC.
