Eagles Finish Sweep of Faith, Take Chaplain's Cup Home!

Ankeny, IA -- February 10, 2026

Emmaus University edged Faith Baptist Bible College 61-60 in a tightly contested road matchup Tuesday afternoon in Ankeny, Iowa.

The Eagles (11-7, 5-3) used a strong third quarter to seize momentum, outscoring Faith 19-16 to take a five-point lead into the final period. Faith rallied in the fourth, but Emmaus held on down the stretch to secure the one-point victory.

Rachel Barrett led the way with 19 points on 9-of-16 shooting while adding 10 rebounds for a double-double.

Aubry Silva chipped in 16 points and seven boards, and Amelia Mackey returned with 11 points, knocking down all three of her attempts from beyond the arc.

Erin McKenna contributed eight assists to go along with seven points and five rebounds, helping the Eagles finish with 18 assists as a team. Emmaus shot an efficient 45 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from three-point range.

Stephanie Hodges (current volleyball player and younger sister of Brooke Hodges) made her career debut and got her first rebound and assist!

Emmaus' lockdown defense and timely shooting proved enough in the closing minutes as the Eagles escaped with the 61-60 win.

With the win, the Eagles move to 11-7 overall and 5-3 in conference play, which means big things for the Conference Tournament next weekend!
