Roadrunners Fall To Eagles On The Road


MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Dalton State had three players score in double-figures but it would not be enough as the Roadrunners dropped their second game-in-a-row with a 84-69 defeat to #7 Faulkner (Ala.) at Tine Davis Gymnasium in Montgomery, Ala. on Monday night.
 
THE FIRST HALF
  • It was all Faulkner from the start as they scored on their first 5 possessions, all three pointers to take an early 15-4 lead just over 3 minutes in.
  • A 12-6 spurt from the Birds cut the lead to 5 points at 21-16 just before the midway point of the half.
  • Faulkner answered with an 18-2 run over the next 5 minutes to take 21-point lead (39-18).
  • Never giving up, the Roadrunners closed the half outscoring the Eagles 15-6 to cut the deficit to 12 points (45-33) at the half.
 
THE SECOND HALF
  • DS tried to cut into the lead, but for every made basket FU countered with 2.
  • A Brandon Reeves trey with 8:05 to go matched the largest deficit of the game at 21 points (68-47).
  • The Birds shot 45% for the second half but only managed to trail by less that 15 once more throughout the game as Faulkner came away with an 84-69 win.
 
THE REST OF THE STORY
Dalton State (Ga.) falls to (7-10 overall, 6-6 SSAC) with the loss, while #7 Faulkner (Ala.) improves to (21-2 overall, 12-1 SSAC) with the win. Marquel Wiggins once again led the Birds with 23 points and 7 rebounds. Antares Gwyn had 15 points and 7 boards of his own with C.J. Perry adding 10 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists.
 
C.J. Hines connected on 4 first half three pointers to pace Faulkner with 24 points. Three other Eagles scored in double-figures with Trace Hill and Daniel Garmendia contributing 14 points each and Garrett Sanderson adding 10 points.

BY THE NUMBERS
The Roadrunners shot a very respectable 48.3% (29-for-60) from the field for the game while the Eagles shot close to the same number at 49.1% (28-for-57). Where the game was won was from behind the arc where Faulkner hit 14-of-35 attempts compared to Dalton State who managed to make just 4-of-15 shots.
 
DS was once again impressive in the lane outscoring the FU 40-24 in the paint and winning the rebounding margin by 8 at 36-28. Faulkner scored 17 points off 16 Dalton State turnovers and had 11 fast break points. The Roadrunners only had 4 fast break points, but outmatched the Eagle bench in points, 29-26.
