Turahn Thompson poured in 20 points in the victory and Vojtech Ruzek rounded out the high scorers for the Eagles with 15. Every Eagle who entered the game registered points on the stat sheet.

The second half was the difference maker for the Eagles. It was a four-point game entering half time in favor of the Eagles. After scoring 50 in the first half, they closed out the game with another 50 point half with 55.
