Fourteen players scored points and three reach double figures in TBC Eagles Men's Basketball's game with NAIA Ave Maria University on Saturday as the Eagles had a strong offensive showing. The high-powered Gyrenes, though, shot over 50% from the field and hit from long range often to win the game 122-75.

Diego Fernandez (17), Ian Kanady (11), and Ethan Bray (10) led the Eagles in scoring as the trio combined for 13 of 25 (53%) from the field, 6 three-pointers, and 6 free throws.

Shadrack Kakora and Micah Johnson electrified the crowd when they got opportunities in each half. Each man scored 6 points, their first official collegiate scores, and Johnson got his on three slam dunks, two of which came on alley-oops.

The Gyrenes converted 18 three-pointers and shot 57% overall from the field on route to the win. Miles Monchecourt (22) and Michael Klekus (21) each topped 20 points, and three teammates had 10+.
