CLINTON - Joseph Tagarelli scored 18 points and grabbed 16 rebounds Wednesday night as Kirkwood dunked Clinton Community College, 94-60, in an ICCAC game in Clinton.
J.C. Fuller led the Eagles (12-5, 4-1) with 20 points. Ajay Lawton finished with 13 points, five assists and three steals.
Kirkwood made eleven 3-pointers, with Fuller and Lawton hitting three apiece.
Clinton fell to 0-15 overall and 0-6 in the league.
ESTHERVILLE - Ariel Sneed scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds Saturday as the fourth-ranked Kirkwood women's basketball team topped Iowa Lakes, 63-49, in an ICCAC game in Estherville.
Danielle Woolfolk had 11 points for Kirkwood (15-3, 4-1).
Alissa Johnson scored 10 points for Iowa Lakes (4-13, 1-3).
ESTHERVILLE - The 13th-ranked Kirkwood Eagles lost their first ICCAC game of the season Saturday against No.20 Iowa Lakes, 71-61, in Estherville.
Joe Tagarelli scored 18 points to lead Kirkwood (11-5, 3-1). Ajay Lawton added 10.
Deondre Parks pumped in 27 points and hit four 3-pointers for Iowa Lakes (10-5, 3-1).
The Kirkwood men's basketball team entered Wednesday night's contest against Marshalltown with a perfect 8-0 record at home and an impressive scoring average of 86.3 points per game, but the Eagles can kiss those numbers goodbye.
Marshalltown dominated the 13th-ranked Eagles much of the night and spanked the home team, 66-51, in a non-conference affair at Johnson Hall.
It was Kirkwood's worst margin of defeat this season and its lowest output of the year by 20 points.
Kim Muhl has set the bar extremely high with the Kirkwood women's basketball program with six national titles, so sometimes even a 29-point victory leaves him frustrated.
That was the case Wednesday night.
The fourth-ranked Eagles put on a sluggish performance and irritated their coach in a 78-49 victory over Marshalltown Community College at Johnson Hall.
Kirkwood raised its records to 14-3 overall and 3-1 in the ICCAC conference, but Muhl was not happy.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 08 January 2014 22:45Everybody on the Kirkwood men's basketball team is cheering for Henry Uwadiae, a 6-foot-11 center from Nigeria who rarely gets to play for the Eagles.
Saturday, Big Henry gave his teammates something to cheer about.
Uwadiae and the rest of Kirkwood's bench brigade played important roles as the 16th-ranked Eagles defeated No.8 DMACC, 82-75, in a foul-plagued junior college basketball game at Johnson Hall.
Uwadiae had a big left-handed dunk that brought his teammates to their feet, blocked two shots and did a creditable job in the middle of a 2-1-2 zone defense with his long arms.
"He sparks our team," said Kirkwood Coach Bryan Petersen. "When Henry does something like that, it sparks our team. I was proud of Henry's effort."
Kirkwood sophomore Mikayla Fallon has developed a successful theory for firing clutch 3-pointers this season.
Don't think. Shoot.
It worked perfect Saturday afternoon.
Fallon hit two clutch triples in the final stages to help the second-ranked Eagles top DMACC, 78-73, in a conference game at Johnson Hall.
