The ULM men fell to the Eagles of Georgia Southern Saturday afternoon despite a double digit scoring performance by senior guard Justin Roberson and double-double by senior forward Majok Deng. Roberson’s 20 points mark a career high for the senior. Part way through the first half the Warhawks found themselves down 16-7 when Roberson netted a pair of three-pointers to put ULM back in contention.
A 7-0 run was sparked which sliced Georgia Southern’s lead to 16-14 with just over seven minutes left.
But the Eagles went on a run of their own to close out the half scoring fourteen of the last nineteen points and taking a 32-21 lead into the locker room.
