The Eagles lost the hard-fought battle with the Snow College Badgers in the final seconds of the game. After leading for most of the first half and trading points in the second, a few late turnovers and foul violations caused the Eagles to fall 66-64.
The Eagles were led by a dominating performance from Gbenga Olubi who had 19 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block. Noah McCord also put on a show, dominating the glass. He finished with a double-double of 11 points and 15 rebounds. Dyson Lighthall helped McCord clean up the boards, finishing with 10 rebounds and 7 points. The offense flowed through the Eagle’s guard duo, Jael Vaugh and Kevin Bethel, as they finished with 7 assists and 4 assists respectively.
The Eagles will face the Badgers two more times this year in regular season play.
