Faith's eight-game road trip to begin the month of January is, mercifully, almost over. The Eagles have felt the effects of the long road trip, losing five of their last six, following a pair of losses to Barclay College and #4 Manhattan Christian College over the weekend.
The Eagles were missing their catalyst on offense in both games as starting point guard Jayce Goergen was unable to play, leading to a pair of low-scoring performances. Faith mustered just 45 points in the 72-45 loss to Barclay on Friday, and 54 points in the 80-54 loss to Manhattan Christian on Saturday. Jared Pearson was the only player to reach double digits in scoring against Barclay with 15 points, and was one of two players to reach double digits on Saturday (again with 15), joined by Kalab Sidlinger, who had 11. Goergen's steady leadership at the point guard position was also missed from a ball-control aspect as Faith turned the ball over 56 times in the two games.
Following Faith's road trip to Emmaus on Tuesday, January 25 (6 p.m. tip), the Eagles get a much-welcomed stretch of four straight home games, beginning with Friday's matchup against Central Christian College of the Bible at 8 p.m. as part of a women's/men's double-header. Just eight games remain in the regular season before conference tournament play begins on February 17.
