Eagles Late Game Rally Comes Up Short

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Charleston's late game rally wasn't enough to defeat the visiting Hilltoppers from West Liberty as the Golden Eagles suffered just their fourth loss in Mountain East Conference play this season falling to the Toppers 90-83.  

The Hilltoppers (13-7, 10-4) had a 10-point advantage at halftime and increased it to 16 points with 15:52 left, but Charleston (15-5, 10-4) fought its way back into the game, eventually drawing even at 72-72 with 5:27 left. WLU regained control of the game by scoring 13 of the game's next 17 points to take the win.

West Liberty's Liz Flowers poured in 27 points, and Kailee Howe scored 24 and dished out 11 assists. Hillary Southworth added 17 points for the 'Toppers.

Kiara Johnson registered a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. LeAnne Ross finished with 18 points, and Nichole Perry scored 14 of her 16 points in the second half to help spark the comeback.

Charleston hits the road Monday to face Wheeling Jesuit at 5:30 p.m.  Earlier this season the Golden Eagles defeated the Cardinals 72-56 in Eddie King Gymnasium led by Nichole Perry's 17 points.
