victory over Mitchell College in a NECC matchup Thursday night at
Mario Vagge Gymnasium.
Chris Hanson led the Eagles with a game high 19 points
and nailed five three-pointers, Adam Landry notched 16 points

team-high nine rebounds.
The Eagles shot 50 percent in the first half to lead 35-24 at the
break. Daniel Webster held a 12-point lead early in the second
stanza before Mitchell would close the gap to four at 56-52 on a Mike DePaolo

A Hanson three and Speed layup upped the lead back to nine before
Mitchell again rallied with a late 7-2 run, whittling the lead back
