The campus grew quickly in size following World War II and in 1961, the school went through another name change, this time becoming Eastern Washington State College. The university’s most prominent sports have traditionally been its football and men’s basketball teams with the women’s volleyball team having some good years, finishing the season in the Division 1 top 25 in 2003 (oddly, because they lost the Big Sky Championship game, they were the only top 25 team excluded from the tournament).
