The Eagles continued to prove last week that they are more than capable of closing out close games and this time they were able to pull it off in a pair of road contests. They won 81-79 last Wednesday at CUW before taking down Rockford 84-77 on Saturday. Adam Freitag provided the heroics at CUW by knocking down a three-pointer with four seconds left to lift the Eagles to the two-point victory. It was a fitting ending considering the 15 ties and 22 lead changes that the game featured up to that point. No team led by more than six points in the entire game. With seven seconds remaining, Dylan Rusch drove and kicked it out to Freitag on the wing for the game-winner. CUW hit one of two free throws, but the Falcons failed to get a shot off at the buzzer to give the Eagles their second-straight win. The Eagles clinched a NACC berth at Rockford after holding a double-digit lead for most of the contest. The Eagles had their biggest lead of the game (16) with just 2:37 left but the Regents trailed by only three with 30 seconds left. Rusch hit two free throws on the other end to make it 82-77 and Dylan Heemstra blocked a shot on Rockford’s next possession. Trevor Neale finished with 18 points while Joe Klocek had his first double-double of the year with 13 points and 14 boards.
About the Warriors
Wisconsin Lutheran is coming off a 68-55 win over Concordia Chicago and currently sits in eighth place in the NACC. The Warriors have three games remaining in the regular season and will be battling with Rockford for the final spot in the NACC Tournament. Edgewood College came out on top in double overtime earlier this year in an 85-80 shootout. Kyle Steise (23) and Jake Jarnigo (22) provided the Warriors with most of their offense but Tal Diekvoss’ four three’s and 16 points for the Eagles proved to be too much.

A MESSAGE FROM HEAD COACH
JUSTIN MEYER
The Booster Club is an integral part of our Edgewood College Basketball Family. Support from fans like you has played a significant role in the success of our program, which has earned 10 conference championships and three NCAA Division III National Tournament appearances. During my time here at Edgewood, the Eagles have won four conference titles, finished runner-up four times, and played in seven conference championship games. We have also won the second most games in the NACC over the last eight years. In 2014 we reached the conference championship game for the third time in the last four years. Now beginning my 12th full season with the Eagles Basketball Family, I am very excited about the upcoming season. I feel very fortunate and honored to be part of a program with such a storied history, as well as a loyal and dedicated fan base, and look forward to leading the Eagles again this season. Having a large number of letter winners and contributors back this year, I truly feel we are ready to take the next step and not only return to the NACC Championship Game but win it this season as well. With a dedicated core of returning players and a very good group of newcomers we are focused on having a great season and hopefully returning to the NCAA Tournament. this off season has seen lots of hard work, sweat, and dedication from our team in hopes of it paying off in February. Our program continues to attract high-quality student-athletes who strive to do their best both on the court and in the classroom. Last season we had the second highest GPA of any male sport on campus with a 3.18 team GPA and we had the most community service hours of any sport on campus with over 600 team hours. Our players know they represent everyone who has ever worn an Eagle uniform or attended our fine institution. Now, as we anxiously await the beginning of a new season, we invite your support to share in our quest to bring home another championship to Edgewood College. By becoming an Eagle Booster you can be confident you are investing in a first class program by providing our student-athletes with apparel, meals and special travel opportunities. This year we will be traveling to San Juan, Puerto Rico to play two nationally ranked opponents. As you know trips like these offer our student-athletes a once in a life time experience! They also come with a steep price tag. This season all Booster Club donations will go towards funding the Puerto Rico trip with the goal of having our student-athletes pay as little as possible for this wonderful experience.

Wisconsin Lutheran is coming off a 68-55 win over Concordia Chicago and currently sits in eighth place in the NACC. The Warriors have three games remaining in the regular season and will be battling with Rockford for the final spot in the NACC Tournament. Edgewood College came out on top in double overtime earlier this year in an 85-80 shootout. Kyle Steise (23) and Jake Jarnigo (22) provided the Warriors with most of their offense but Tal Diekvoss’ four three’s and 16 points for the Eagles proved to be too much.

GREAT COMPETITION.
Edgewood College men’s basketball team continues to play one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country. Last season the Eagles played the 8th toughest non-conference schedule out of over 400 NCAA Division III schools. Three of their five nonconference games were against teams ranked in the Top 10 in the country. This seasons non-conference highlights include games against three nationally ranked teams and a trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico to take on two of the best programs in the country.

A MESSAGE FROM HEAD COACH
JUSTIN MEYER
The Booster Club is an integral part of our Edgewood College Basketball Family. Support from fans like you has played a significant role in the success of our program, which has earned 10 conference championships and three NCAA Division III National Tournament appearances. During my time here at Edgewood, the Eagles have won four conference titles, finished runner-up four times, and played in seven conference championship games. We have also won the second most games in the NACC over the last eight years. In 2014 we reached the conference championship game for the third time in the last four years. Now beginning my 12th full season with the Eagles Basketball Family, I am very excited about the upcoming season. I feel very fortunate and honored to be part of a program with such a storied history, as well as a loyal and dedicated fan base, and look forward to leading the Eagles again this season. Having a large number of letter winners and contributors back this year, I truly feel we are ready to take the next step and not only return to the NACC Championship Game but win it this season as well. With a dedicated core of returning players and a very good group of newcomers we are focused on having a great season and hopefully returning to the NCAA Tournament. this off season has seen lots of hard work, sweat, and dedication from our team in hopes of it paying off in February. Our program continues to attract high-quality student-athletes who strive to do their best both on the court and in the classroom. Last season we had the second highest GPA of any male sport on campus with a 3.18 team GPA and we had the most community service hours of any sport on campus with over 600 team hours. Our players know they represent everyone who has ever worn an Eagle uniform or attended our fine institution. Now, as we anxiously await the beginning of a new season, we invite your support to share in our quest to bring home another championship to Edgewood College. By becoming an Eagle Booster you can be confident you are investing in a first class program by providing our student-athletes with apparel, meals and special travel opportunities. This year we will be traveling to San Juan, Puerto Rico to play two nationally ranked opponents. As you know trips like these offer our student-athletes a once in a life time experience! They also come with a steep price tag. This season all Booster Club donations will go towards funding the Puerto Rico trip with the goal of having our student-athletes pay as little as possible for this wonderful experience.
