The Eagles squeeze out a tough win on the road versus the Rangers.  The Eagles close out the 1st quarter up on the Rangers 14-11.  The Rangers really looked to slow the game down and play at their pace.  The game was close throughout with both teams just grinding trying to find some momentum.  The Eagles were able to take the lead going into half time up 23-20.  The Eagles continued to try and find some kind of offensive flow and pace in the 2nd quarter.

At the half, the Eagles made some defensive adjustments to create more tempo against the Rangers's slow paced offense.  The Eagles had a solid 3rd quarter with their adjustments holding steady on both sides of the ball leading 34-32.  The Eagles defense has been the staple to their success this season.  The Eagles will have to continue to find an offensive flow that can match their defensive intensity.  However, in the second half the Eagles found a way to win.  This is a positive sign of growth for an inexperience team who gets the road win 46-44 over the Rangers.

Sophomore Jaylan Ouwinga led the Eagles with 12 points and 7 rebounds.   Senior Delon McCloud followed with 9 points.  Junior Dono Thames had 9 points.  Jasiah Rainey gave the Eagles a lift with 7 points and 7 rebounds.  The Eagles will be back on the road Tuesday versus the Lowell Red Arrows.  The Eagles move to 6-2 on the season.
