The Eagle men fell to visiting North Central University 74-104 today. The loss drops Faith to 5-6 on the year and 1-2 in the region. The loss also drops Faith to the #3 seed in the regional tournament, which the Eagles will host at the end of February. Faith will face Trinity Bible College, the #2 seed in the semi-final of the tournament.
North Central came ready to play, while the Eagles struggled to find any intensity, as the Rams jumped on the Eagles by 10 in the first minutes of play. Faith pulled back to within five, but would get no closer, as North Central put together a run to close out the half up 19. Faith could not make any headway in the second half, and the Eagles gave everyone an opportunity to play as the game went to a 104-74 final.
Faith will finish out the second semester of play in an exhibition contest at NCAA II Truman State University on Tuesday. That game will tip at 7 PM.
