KANSAS CITY, Mo. –  In the first regular season Gared-NAIA Men's Basketball Coaches Top 25 Poll, Eastern Oregon moved up two spots from the preseason poll to No.13, announced Wednesday morning. 

The Mountaineers have carried their momentum from last season's NAIA National Championship Second Round appearance into the new campaign, opening the season with a perfect 3-0 record.

EOU began the year with a commanding 94-67 victory over Embry-Riddle inside Quinn Coliseum before heading to North Dakota for a pair of neutral-site and road matchups. The Mountaineers earned a 79-61 win over Dickinson State before closing out the trip with a 90-62 victory over host Bismarck State.

Leading the way early in the season is returning Newcomer of the Year Eamon Monahan, who has totaled 40 points while shooting 61.5% from the field, 75% from the free-throw line and 40% from beyond the arc. Monahan has also made an impact defensively, leading the team with five steals and adding 17 rebounds.

Jaden Hansen has been another key contributor, pacing the Mountaineers with 19 rebounds, including 14 on the defensive end, while adding three steals and a block. Hansen has also contributed 36 points on 48% shooting, converting 11 of 12 attempts at the free-throw line and shooting a perfect 3-for-3 from three-point range.

Cole Hammack has also provided a strong offensive presence, totaling 37 points and nine assists through the first three games. Hammack is shooting 48% from the field and has connected on 10 of 11 free-throw attempts, while adding three three-pointers and three steals.

The Cascade Collegiate Conference also had representation in the latest poll, with College of Idaho moving to No. 17 and Oregon Tech receiving votes.

The Mountaineers will look to build on their undefeated start this weekend when they travel to face Whitman College in an exhibition matchup on Saturday, November 14, at 6 p.m. PT.
