YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- A sound offensive performance coupled with a stingy defense effort from the Eastern Michigan University football team powered the Eagles (1-0) to a season-opening 51-17 victory over Monmouth University Friday night, Aug. 31, at "The Factory" inside Rynearson Stadium. The victory marked the third consecutive season the Eagles tasted victory in their season opener, while it marked the squad's fourth-most points in a home debut.
As a team, Eastern ran away with the win behind a balanced offensive attack featuring 302 passing yards, along with 171 rushing yards.
