No.9 Eagles rally by Southwestern
The Kirkwood Eagles struggled for much of their game Saturday and trailed Southwestern 39-33 with 14 minutes left at Johnson Hall.
At that point, few Kirkwood fans would have bet the ninth-ranked Eagles would win by 17 points.
"I wouldn't either," said Coach Bryan Petersen.
They found a way, however.
Ajay Lawton popped in all 15 of his points in the second half and Ron Singleton set the tone on defense as Kirkwood rallied for a 70-53 victory in an ICCAC conference game.
Kirkwood used a 12-0 run to grab a 45-39 lead on a 3-pointer by Lawson and the Eagles kept motoring from there, belting the visitors from Creston by a 37-14 margin in the final 14 minutes.
