Senior Chris Lawson led the Red Lions with 30 points, while Junior
Brady Cremeens chipped in 24 points and five assists. Senior Mac Ingmire helped out with 11 points and
five assists.
Afterward Cremeens said: "We learned that we can go toe-to-toe with
good, experienced teams and come out on top. We have a lot to improve upon, but
this was a good steppingstone and building block for the rest of the year. It
was close, but a win is a win and we'll take it."
The Red Lions ended the first half with a 45-33 lead, but the
Crusaders of MCC started to make a game of it as the second half
went on. Ingmire later said: "We played a fairly good half of
defense in the first half, but we've got to do a better job of
finishing out a game on the defensive end. But overall, I was really
pleased with our effort and fight to pull out the win at the end."
LCU (1-1) looks to make it a perfect weekend when they face Faith
Bible College in Ankeny on Saturday.
