Free throws bail out Eagles
The Eastern Eagles were in the midst of blowing a 10-point lead with under five minutes to play, but thanks to eight straight made free throws they were able to escape with their 11th straight win. As Jim Meehan of the S-R writes, it was a game that the Eagles almost deserved to lose.
Senior Brendon Merritt lead the team with 15 points, while Alvin Snow chipped in with 14. The Eagles will now go on the road this week to Weber State on Thursday and Idaho State on Saturday.
