#13 Golden Eagles Edge Past #21 Generals

The Generals started off hot against the College of Southern Idaho Golden Eagles Saturday night as they took and early 7-2 lead in the opening minutes of the game. The #13 Eagles battled back to take a 6 point lead in the final seconds of the first half, until sophomore guard Frederic Dure sank a 3-point basket as time expired cutting the deficit to 46-43 at half.  A tied game at 69-69 in the second half was eventually turned into a Golden Eagle 15 point lead with 5:43 seconds remaining. A late surge by the Generals saw the CSI lead cut to 4 points before a controversial call negated an offensive rebound the Generals obtained and the Golden Eagles sank a pair of free-throws extending their lead to 6. The Generals could not string together enough late game stops and saw the Eagles walk away with a 104-99 victory. CSI improves to 7-1 on the year while the Generals fall to 8-2 on the season.

The Generals were led in scoring by sophomore guard Frederic Dure who had a team high 25 points. Sophomore forward Joshua Adeyeye fell short of a double-double, scoring 22 points, on 4-7 shooting from beyond the arc, and 9 rebounds.  Freshman guard Jamir Andrews chipped in 12 points on the nights. Sophomore guard Iakeem Alston also contributed 11 points while dishing out 6 assists. Kaileb Rodriguez was the final General to score in double figures, chipping in 10 points before fouling out.


The Generals are back in action this Wednesday, November 27th as they take on the Colorado Northwest Spartans in the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome.
