Eagles Fall to Tigers

Ankeny, IA- Lady Eagles came out firing. Scoring 19 points in the first quarter, the Eagles were looking good and moving the ball even better. Unfortunately, this momentum did not carry over into the second quarter, where the Eagles would score only 2 points to the Tigers 16.

The Eagles made adjustments at the half and came out swinging in the third quarter. Out-scoring the Tigers 18-13, the Eagles were back in the game. The Eagles were tasked with keeping the Tigers out of the paint. Tiger forward, #1 Campbell made this task extremely difficult for the Eagles as she found her way into the lane to earn a total of 17 points. Forward #23 Walton also worked her way into the paint to snatch 16 points of her own.

Unable to protect the paint, the Eagles would find themselves within five points of the Tigers with just minutes left on the clock, but could not get over the deficit. The Eagles lost 57-49.

Leading the Eagles was Tina Harms with 12 points and 4 rebounds, followed by Rachel Forgie with 10 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks, and Mikayla Jones with 12 points and 5 assists.

The Eagles next game will be following Christmas break on January 12, 2024 against Barclay College in the Nettleton Center at 6:00 PM.
