On Friday, February 12, the Lady Eagles took the court against the Lady Saints of Central Christian College. The first quarter was all Emmaus, scoring 24 points and forcing four turnovers.
Rachel West had key three pointers in the quarter that helped the Lady Eagles build a lot of offensive momentum early on.
In the second quarter, the Saints turned up their defense and forced seven Emmaus turnovers. Both teams shot extremely well in the second quarter allowing for a very competitive game atmosphere. The Eagles were able to go into the locker room up 45 to 35, thanks to a last second field goal by Rachel West.
Both teams came out of the locker room not able to keep their offensive efficiency going. The Lady Eagles struggled to put points on the board. The bench in the third quarter came up big for the Saints, as Deja Jackson scored 6 points and kept the Saints' hopes alive. In the fourth quarter, the Lady Eagles came out with a mission and got back into a rhythm. The shooting of Madison Laib and Shelby Hembera allowed the Eagles to slowly pull away from the Saints. The Lady Eagles were able to cruise from then on putting the game away winning their 12th straight game 77-63.
