The Eagles tipped off the season Tuesday night against the Sailors of South Christian in an intense return to competition. While the Eagles are a young squad, they proved that they have what it takes to claw back despite strong opponents! It was a tight match to start, trading buckets throughout the first. The Eagles found some fuel with a big bucket from freshman Charley Hassenrik and then tried to string together some stops. The Sailors made it hard and went on a big run in the second, shooting lights out from behind the arc. With a fire lit in the locker room at halftime, the Eagles came out a different team in the final 16 minutes. They did not allow another 3 pointer the rest of the game and it was time for them to step up on offense. Mags Cumming was the spark needed in the third with back to back triples. Cassidy Holtz also added a fan favorite bucket that riled up the crowd. Paige Ferwerda controlled the tempo finding passes around the outside, helping Mags Cumming become the team high 15 points, totaling 5 three pointers! Ferwerda added 9 points and Rae Cummings added 2 final three pointers to seal the deal. The Eagles found some grit and outscored the Sailors 26-17 in the second half. The girls are back Friday night against Wyoming!
