The Rhema Lady Eagles showed their resolve in a hard-fought loss Thursday night at the Ninowski Recreation Center. Midway through the second half, Rhema was down 17 points to an athletic Robert Morris squad. The Lady Eagles (0-3) fought back to cut the deficit to single digits, but ran out of time, falling by a score of 56-47.
The Lady Eagles outshot RMU from the floor (38 percent to 28 percent) and held a narrow rebounding advantage (42 to 41), but RMU took advantage of Rhema’s turnovers. Robert Morris outscored the Lady Eagles in points off turnovers 21-12.

Zailo has now pulled 46 rebounds in her first three games, averaging 15.3 per contest.
