Coach Matt Clark credited a solid defense and making free throws
down the stretch as the keys to the game. Clark said, "Our goal is
to hold opponents to 35 points or less each half, and for the first
time this season we were able to accomplish that goal."
David O'Malley made 6-of-7 free throws in the last minute and 18
seconds to protect the Preachers' lead.
After Lincoln led 7-2 early in the game, St. Louis took an 8-7
lead. After recovering the lead at 13-12, the Preachers did not
trail for the rest of the first half. With LCC leading 32-29 at
halftime, St. Louis outscored LCC 7-2 to take a 36-34 lead. LCC ran
off the next 10 unanswered points and did not trail again in the
game.
Adam Everett led the offense with 23 points. Jon Wallace and
Landan Callahan added 17 and 13, respectively. O'Malley helped the
Preachers to a 35-33 rebound margin by gathering in 12.
