The Golden Eagles man handled the Falcons in the rebounding battle 43-29.  The Golden Eagles had 18 assists and 11 turnovers.
  The Falcons dropped to 5-9 overall and 3-5 MEC after suffered there worst home loss of the season.  The previous worst was a 126-103 loss to then top ranked West Liberty.  The Falcons were paced by 14 points from Jarvis Huntley- Lawrence DeArmond netted 10- and Geovonte Rose chipped in nine.  The Falcons shot 41 percent from the field and hit on just 27 percent (4-15) from the 3-point line.  NDC was atrocious at the foul line where they shot 54 percent (7-13.)

Things would only get more lopsided as the Golden Eagles would open up a 25 point lead (50-25) at halftime.
  The second half was much like the first.  Things did not get any closer and the Golden Eagles would cruise to the 32 point victory.
