 Lincoln College coach Kirk Whiteman's synopsis of the game:"This
was a tale of two halves. We had a two-point lead at halftime 23-21.
We didn't do a very good job in the first half with our post play,
although you have to give credit to Lincoln Land as they play
extremely hard and physical. We tried to simulate what they do, in
practice, but our kids didn't figure that out until they got into
the game and got knocked around for a while.
"We really challenged Chris Ware at halftime and he responded
great, picking up some big baskets for us. Our guards Farmer,
Augusta and Adams did a great job of pushing the ball more in the
second half to create some transition buckets for us. We were able
to get a couple big shots out of Darius Adams and Colby Johnson
also. I was really proud of how our guys stepped up on the defensive
end tonight to battle a very well-coached, physical team.
"Darius Adams led the Lynx with 22 points, 11-14 from the
free-throw line, and Colby Johnson knocked in 15 points."
The Lynx are now 8-6 (1-0). Their next game is at Danville on
Wednesday.
Lincoln Land falls to 9-3 (0-1).
