home crowd. The home court advantage was not enough to help the Eagles, as they fell to 74-59 to King's in a Freedom Conference tilt.

First year forward Bekah Roland connected for a team-high 18 points, and Joelle DeCarlo added 13 points with a trio of long range threes, but Monarch standout Kaitlyn Fiorino connected for a game high 26 as her team held a comfortable lead throughout.

Fiorino connected on 5-8 attempts from distance. The Eagles took closed the gap to nine midway through the second half on a nice pass from Jeriah Garton to Mary Poole, who played in her first game for the Eagles after coming off a very successful volleyball season, but the Monarchs put together a run to quickly bump their lead back to 17.  

The Monarchs improved to 4-2 in the league, while the Eagles fall to 0-4. Eastern returns to action at Delaware Valley College on Saturday afternoon at 1:00.
