Nick Mate gives Eastern a veteran floor-spacer with timely shot-making
In the 2025-26 season, Eastern University guard Nick Mate is a senior 5'9" spark who brings experience, shooting range, and steady point-guard glue to the Eagles’ rotation. Eastern described him as a guard who helps “space the floor with his range,” and the team’s 2025-26 cumulative stats show he has provided efficient perimeter scoring in limited minutes. He’s the kind of under-the-radar fit who can swing a possession with a quick 3, move the ball, and keep the offense organized rather than dominate the box score.
