Eagles spoil FNU’s 2024-25 season finale

NORTH MIAMI, Fla. (Feb. 24, 2025) —Men's basketball (5-19) ended the program's 12th season on a sour note, posting a 120-80 loss to the University of Fort Lauderdale Eagles (15-8) Monday. Caelum Ethridge had a team-high 24 points off the bench, and Jeremy Arnum went 6-12 from the field for 18.

The Eagles had previously handed the Conquistadors a tough 100-68 loss on Feb. 19 before taking care of business the following Monday on the court of the Scott Galvin Community Center. UFTL held a healthy 52-39 lead at halftime and outrebounded FNU 47-29 throughout both periods.

Along with Arnum and Ethridge, Continental Athletic Conference (CAC) Defensive Player of the Week Gary Adams ended the final night of his junior season with 12 points, six rebounds and four assists. Freshman Vejas Matekonis went to work with a near double-double of nine points and eight rebounds. 

UFTL was paced by 20 points from DeAndre Pemberton and the Eagles were unstoppable from the floor, shooting 60.8%. UFTL went 7-7 from three and the Conquistadors still managed to shoot a respectable 41.9% in the loss. 

Notably, the Eagles' 120-point performance broke the university's record for points in a game. FNU celebrated senior Zachary Arias, who ended his FNU career with a four-point evening in North Miami, Fla.
