FIELDSTON, NEW YORK \u2013 After a delayed start and tip-off coming a little after six o\u2019clock, Fieldston wasted no time against the Cougars of Calhoun, beginning the game five-for-five from the field with a 12-4 lead. Thanks to Calhoun\u2019s eight turnovers and 2\/13 shooting from the field, Fieldston led 21-4 after the first quarter. The Eagles took that momentum into the second quarter, which they began with a 13-0 run to extend their lead to 34-4, capped off by a steal from forward Sam Bienvenu (Form VI) followed by a court-length pass to forward Lincoln Steinkamp (Form V) for a thunderous breakaway dunk. Steinkamp finished as Fieldston\u2019s second-highest scorer with 14 points on 6\/15 shooting (2\/8 from three), with two rebounds, two assists and two steals. Calhoun managed a couple scores but trailed by a shocking score of 38-8 going into halftime, with 14 turnovers, just four field goals on 24 attempts and all 12 three-point shots missed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cougars seemed to be turning it around early in the third quarter, making three straight threes to start the half and causing Fieldston head coach John Dwinell to use a timeout. Despite the timeout, Calhoun stayed strong on offense throughout the quarter, scoring 22 points on 8\/13 shooting, 4\/7 from three and 2\/2 from the free throw line, with just three turnovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even with a 56-30 lead, Dwinell maintained his full-court defensive pressure throughout the fourth quarter. The Eagles capitalized, as Calhoun turned the ball over seven more times and shot 1\/9 (0\/4 from three). Fieldston finished the game on its second 13-0 run of the game, ending with the second three-pointer of the game from guard Kai Sharifi (Form VI).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the 69-34 victory, guard Ilan Chase (Form V) led the Eagles offensively with 15 points on 5\/10 shooting (3\/7 from three), with three rebounds, seven assists and three steals. Forward Kiki Gilbert (Form VI) and Bienvenu powered Fieldston on defense with four steals apiece. Gilbert added four points (2\/5 shooting), six rebounds, an assist and a block; Bienvenu contributed 12 points on 4\/6 shooting (2\/3 from three) and 2\/2 from the line, three rebounds, an assist and a block. Guard Shaan Daly (Form V) scored 12 (5\/8 shooting, 2\/4 from three) and added a rebound, two assists and a steal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the win, the Eagles improved to 2-0 on the year and will now prepare for their Monday afternoon game at Collegiate. Calhoun fell to 2-2 on the season, their next game coming Monday afternoon versus Columbia Prep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
