Lady Eagles Make History Defeating Moody Bible
On Tuesday, January 19, the Lady Eagles traveled to play the Moody Bible Institute Archers. From the tip off, the Lady Eagles came out red hot led by freshman Shelby Hembera. Hembera scored the Lady Eagle's first 10 points of the game. The Lady Eagle's sharp defense and efficient offense led to a large lead, leaving the Moody Archers scoreless at the end of the first quarter.
The Archers tried to slow down the Lady Eagles in the second quarter, but could not find a way. In the fourth quarter, the Moody Archers tried to mount a comeback. However, the Lady Eagles finished strong winning 60 to 39.
Emmaus and Moody have a unique history that dates back to when both schools were located in Chicago years ago. They were once cross-town rivals before Emmaus moved to Dubuque (IA). The Emmaus win tonight marks the first time in 20 years that Emmaus has beaten Moody on their home court! The Lady Eagles were thrilled to be apart of breaking that cycle, as well as improving to 9-4 for the season.
