In a game where the Eagles exchanged leads with the Oconto Blue Devils multiple times, it came down to a final possession with Southern Door trailing 49-51 and after they missed a pair of free throws forced an Oconto turnover.
The turnover came with 3.8 seconds left and the Eagles were forced into a last ditch effort from beyond half-court that fell short and they took the loss.
Missed opportunities late was the storyline beyond the last second attempt as the Eagles had two possessions with a chance to tie the game in the final minute, but came up empty twice.
Lauden Berg finished with 14 including 12 of the Eagles 24 points in the first half. Dawson Schwartz joined him in double figures with 11 points highlighted by three second half triples. Lars Saldana matched Berg with 14 for Oconto.
Southern Door played a competitive game throughout and that shouldn't go unnoticed even if the win column won't show it. The Eagles will play again at Peshtigo Thursday at 7 p.m.
