Eagles Defeat Scots 77-65

The Eagles jumped out to a 7-0 lead to start the game and then pushed it to a 14-5 lead six minutes into the game. Lyon would scratch and claw the rest of the first half, but they never could cut the Eagles' lead down to more than four points. Williams took a six point lead into halftime, but the Scots opened the second half with an 11-0 run to take a six point lead over the Eagles. The Eagles would have to scratch and claw their way back. Austin Cluck hit a three-pointer with 11:54 left to make it a two point game, then Jayvon Clark hit a three-pointer a couple of possessions later to give the Eagles the lead back. The Eagles and the Scots would trade a few layups until Braxton Haff hit a three with 6:38 left to give the Eagles a four-point lead. From that point Williams would not surrender the lead and continued to build on it. 

Williams shot 39.4% from the field (28-71), 27.6% from the three-point line (8-29), and 68.4% from the free-throw line (13-19).

Jayvon Clark led the team with 14 points off the bench. Rajhon McIntosh was the other Eagle in double figures with 13 points. 

Jaymes Jackson led the team on the boards with nine, while Shackeel Butters had eight.
