Rainey, Combs and Skanes Score Big in Tight Setback at FIU

MIAMI, Fla. (EMUEagles.com) -- Redshirt seniors Danielle Rainey (Cedar Park, Texas-Vista Ridge (Florida)) and Areanna Combs (Oklahoma City, Okla.-Putnam City West (Oklahoma State)) along with redshirt sophomore Ce'Nara Skanes (Oklahoma City, Okla.-Putnam City West (Florida International)) combined to score 49 of Eastern Michigan University's 60 total points, but the Eagles fell to the Florida International University Panthers, 67-60, on the road Saturday, Nov. 27, in the closing game of the FIU Thanksgiving Classic.

The Eagles (2-3) saw three players score in double figures for the fourth-consecutive game, and nearly erased a 19-point second-half deficit, but could not finish the impressive comeback effort.
