Eagles come up short

Western Carolina guard Preston Ross, top, forces Georgia Southern's Eric Ferguson into a turnover as he goes to the floor in the first half at Hanner Fieldhouse Wednesday.
Both teams were hunting for their first Southern Conference win, and Western Carolina capitalized each and every time Georgia Southern allowed it. The Eagles turned over the basketball 21 times as the Catamounts won for the first time in the last six tries at Hanner Fieldhouse and broke a six-game losing streak of their own with an 81-58 win Wednesday. Georgia Southern (4-12, 0-3 SoCon) turned over the ball 13 times in the first half alone.
