(STATS) -- Just like the offense, the red carpet is rolled out at Eastern Washington for the defense this season.Oh, the high-powered offense is still rolling, but the Eagles dont necessarily have to overcome their defense by winning shootouts.They posted their first shutout since 2009 in eliminating Richmond 38-0 in the FCS playoff quarterfinals Saturday on the red turf at Roos Field.Eastern Washington (12-1), a Big Sky Conference co-champion, will host Youngstown State (11-3) from the Missouri Valley Football Conference in an FCS semifinal next Saturday. Its a matchup of past FCS national champs as YSU won four titles in the 1990s and EWU captured its only one in 2010.Richmond (10-4) didnt challenge against the Eagles after the CAA Football squad made its second straight cross-country trip following a second-round win at North Dakota last Saturday. Roos Field was slick from snow in Cheney this week, but the Samson Ebukam-led defense had more to do with the Spiders offensive woes. The visitors committed five turnovers, quarterback Kevin Johnson was sacked six times and they finished with just 205 yards of offense. Their turnovers led to 17 Eagles points.Ebukam, a senior defensive end, had eight tackles, two sacks, two other tackles for loss, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception. Linebacker Miquiyah Zamora also had eight stops and a fumble recovery.Im so happy for what those guys (have done), theyve earned that, EWU coach Beau Baldwin said of the defense. It didnt just happen out there today, it goes way back.The Eagles, whose defense has improved under coordinator Jeff Schmedding, shut out Central Arkansas in the second half a week ago, so their streak rose to six quarters after they posted their first shutout since a 16-0 win over Northern Colorado on Sept. 19, 2009.They combined the big defensive effort with Gage Gubruds three first-half touchdown passes to dominate the first-ever meeting between the two programs.Gubrud finished 21 of 32 for 287 yards, raising his season total to an FCS-leading 4,807 yards. Senior wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught six passes for 128 yards and a touchdown, extending his career receiving yards to 6,284 -- a record for all divisions of college football.Nsimba Webster and Shaq Hill also caught touchdowns, while Jabari Wilson and Antoine Custer both rushed for scores.We just played together as a team the whole game, Baldwin said. Thats what I loved about it.Eastern Washington announced on Friday it is finalizing a five-year contract with Baldwin, its ninth-year head coach. He improved to 85-31 with the Eagles with Saturdays win. Cheap Penguins Jerseys . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Just seconds into her first heat in canoe slalom, Maialen Chourraut thought her Olympics were over.She missed a gate entirely in the womens kayak on the fast but unforgiving course at Whitewater Stadium.Nervous in the second heat, she was penalized twice for touching gates but sliced and curled through the waves and eddies so fast that she scraped into the semifinals, 11th out of 15. Surviving, she said, made her feel stronger.That was Monday.On Thursday, all she touched were river rapids and the heart of her husband and national coach, Xabier Etxaniz, who jumped into the water in the finish area to give her a congratulatory kiss for winning the gold medal. Her daughter Ane was on the bank, pointing out who was No. 1.This was a very special project for my family, Chourraut said, and we achieved what we wanted.Without incurring any more penalties, Chourraut qualified third for the final, then surprised even herself when she finished three seconds faster than Luuka Jones of New Zealand who, in turn, slashed more than five seconds off the leading run.Chourraut knew she was guaranteed a bronze because there were only two more paddlers to complete the final, including former world champion Corinna Kuhnle of Austria, but both touched two gates each. Chourraut screamed again and covered her face in the finish area as the first Spaniard in canoe slalom to win an Olympic gold medal, adding it to her bronze from the London Games.Jones, last in her only previous major final at the 2014 worlds, was the first New Zealander to medal in the discipline, on her third attempt.Jess Fox, the top-ranked woman and big favorite from Australia, settled for bronze. She finished faster than Jones, but was hit with a late two-second penalty, and fell half a second behind.After she was an unexpected second in London, Australians dubbed her the Silveer Fox, and her ongoing success fueled high expectations of an upgraded change in nickname.dddddddddddd. Fox was coming off a World Cup win in Italy in May and a kayak-canoe double at the junior worlds in Poland less than a month ago.For second-ranked Chourraut, the win was a reward for years of just missing the top step on the podium at the biggest races. Besides her 2012 Olympic bronze, she was second at the worlds in 2009, and third in 2011. Since the London Games, shes won three World Cups, the 2015 European championship, and had a daughter. She kept paddling until the eighth month of her pregnancy, so it would be easier to regain her form.This (gold medal) is what Ive been looking for since a long time ago, she said. For my family it is a reward for all the nerves and emotion they have felt.Meanwhile, the Skantar cousins from Slovakia, Ladislav and Peter, likely won the last gold medal in double canoe, as its expected to be phased out after the Rio Olympics and replaced by womens single canoe for gender balance.The cousins triumph brought them out from the considerable shadow of their compatriots, the great Hochschorner twins, Pavel and Peter, who won the 2000, 2004 and 2008 gold medals, plus the bronze in London. The twins lost Slovakias quota spot to the Skantars at the European championships in May, and the Skantars felt a lot of pressure to follow in their footsteps.We, Peter Skantar said, are very happy because we have kind of substituted the brothers, and thats why the gold was very high to reach for us.Britains Richard Hounslow and David Florence repeated their silver-medal effort from London, and Frances Gauthier Klauss and Matthieu Peche redeemed their fourth-place finish in London with the bronze.
