[November 20, 2009]  The Lincoln College Lynx defeated Rend Lake 73-67 in their game Wednesday evening.

Lincoln moves to 5-1, RLC drops to 2-5.

Lincoln really struggled with defensive intensity. The Lynx were down at halftime 36-33, and it wasn't until the 10-minute mark in the second half that a lineup of five guards turned up the defensive intensity and created some easy offense. Lincoln was able to take a six-point lead and held on for the win.

"We are still trying to get our young team to understand that we have to play hard on the defensive end for 40 minutes," said Lincoln coach Kirk Whiteman. "We were fortunate to get a W, being down most of the game for the second game in a row. We need to compete for the entire game!"

Chris Ware led all scorers with 26 points. Lincoln also had 13 points from Kenyon Smith and 10 points each from Louie Schonauer and Marius Sumrell.

The Lynx will play on the road at Blackhawk College (5-1) on Friday.
