From Williams Baptist College
A
slow start by the Eagles from Williams Baptist College doomed them
against the Spartans from Missouri Baptist College Saturday. The
American
Midwest Conference game was played in the Southerland-Mabee Center in
Walnut Ridge, and it ended 88-75 in favor of MBU.
The
Spartans opened the game hot from the field, leading 45-27 at
halftime. The Eagles tried to muster a comeback in the second half but
the closest they got was
10 points with five minutes remaining.
Kyle
Harvey recorded a double-double for Williams, scoring 14 with 13
rebounds. Rashad Danzy scored 14 points on 7-of-9 shooting and Dustin
House hit two three-point
buckets on his way to scoring 10 points.
WBC
shot 45 percent from the floor in the game, but only 4-of-13 from
beyond the arc. Meanwhile, the Spartans shot 47 percent from the floor.
The
loss leaves WBC in a tie for fourth place in the AMC at 8-6 in
conference and 17-10 overall. The fourth seed will host an opening
round game in the AMC tournament.
The
Eagles will jump back on their home court on Thursday, Feb. 21, at 7:30
p.m. The school will honor six seniors on that night.
