"With five players scoring in double figures for us tonight, it means the team is sharing the ball and we are finding good percentage shots," said John Van Dyke, Eagle head coach. As long as we can move the ball, it will create scoring opportunities for all and makes us tough to defend. I see we're making improvement and these games are good for us in preparation for conference play."
