[December 14, 2009]  The Red Lions men's basketball team of Lincoln Christian University defeated the Preachers of Concordia Seminary 81-69 Saturday.

InsuranceIn a game that was not as close as the final score would indicate, LCU dominated in the paint and played what LCU coach Matt Clark called "the best defense we have played all year." The Red Lions led by 29 with 10 minutes left in the game, at which point Clark began to substitute liberally.

The win increases the NCCAA 10th-ranked Red Lions to 6-3.

Leading the Red Lions in a very balanced attack were Jon Wallace with 20 points, eight rebounds and one assist; Landan Callahan with 14 points, 4 of 5 from 3-point range and three assists; Chris Lawson 14 points; and Josiah Brock with 12 points and eight rebounds. Six other Red Lions made it into the scoring column.

LCU shot 54.5 percent for the game, including 57.1 percent from 3-point range. LCU also won the battle on the boards 33-29.

LCU will be on semester break until their next game Jan. 6, when they travel to Moberly, Mo., and take on Central Christian College of the Bible.
