The Eagles are sitting in third place in the SWAC this weekend after they split a pair against Northern Idaho this weekend to move their record to 6-5 in conference action. CSI is in first at 11-0 and SLCC is in second at 10-1. Snow sits in fourth at 3-8.
NIC took the Friday night game 88-72. But, Saturday the Eagles were victorious as they edged out NIC 64-61. With Snow sitting below them and the two meeting up this weekend, the games will be about finishing strong and making a statement, rather than conference standings.

Whatever transpired during the break made a difference and the Eagles out scored the Cardinals by 13 points to claim the win. Darington Hobson controlled the boards with 10 rebounds. Rafeal Moreira led the scoring with 10. Stephen Franklin and Felix Caspari contributed nine. Colby Vranes came away with three steals.
