The Algoma Wolves started the game as the hot team, but the Southern Door Eagles would leave the gym with the win, 63-52 Friday night in Algoma.

 

The Wolves had not played a game in nearly a month, but you would not have guessed that jumping to an early 6-0 lead and, at one point in the first half, building an 11-point lead over the Eagles. 

 

However, the Eagles would climb back from that point, heading into the halftime break with a 23-19 lead. The Eagles would pile things on further by opening the second half on a 9-0 run. 

 

The Eagles' first nine points came from Caden Pierre, who finished the night with 18. He was only outscored by Drew Daoust, who used a 19-point second half to finish with 28. After the game, Wolves head coach Eric Schneider stated that "too many turnovers" cost them. The Wolves were led by Chase Romdenne's 17 points, followed by 10 points from Braeden Leist.

 

The Wolves travel to Denmark on Monday before returning home for Friday night's matchup with Sturgeon Bay on U-102.1. The Eagles have a week of rest before their next game, which is also on Friday night: a home matchup against Gibraltar on 105.1 The GOAT.
