LCU grabs another win

[January 17, 2013]  FLORISSANT, Mo. -- The Lincoln Christian University men's basketball team traveled to Florissant, Mo., Tuesday night to take on the Soldiers of St. Louis Christian College. In the season's first match between the two teams, back in December, LCU (7-10) beat SLCC soundly 87-44. Tuesday night was no different as LCU shot SLCC out of the gym and grabbed an 84-54 victory.

It was back and forth to begin the game, with multiple lead changes happening within the first 10 minutes. When LCU grabbed the lead at 20-18, midway through the first half, it was their lead for good, as they built the margin to double digits, going into halftime 40-22. The second half was more of the same as senior shooting guard Brady Cremeens (Hopedale, Olympia High), heated up from the floor and the offense began clicking. With five minutes left in the second half, LCU had the game in hand and unloaded their bench to finish the game.

Cremeens led all scorers Tuesday night with 29 points on 10-of-21 shooting, including 5 of 11 from beyond the arc. Sophomore forward Gabe Langseth (Stewartville, Minn., Stewartville High), followed Cremeens in scoring with 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting, while also grabbing 11 rebounds to attain a double-double. Sophomore forward David Graves (Eustace, Texas, Eustace High) chipped in with six points and 13 rebounds. For St. Louis Christian, junior forward Micah Schnautz (Louisville, Ill.) led the way with 16 points on 5-of-11 shooting. Freshman guard Rodney Mondaine (St. Louis, Mo.) chipped in with 12 points and nine rebounds.

The LCU Red Lions will return to action on the road as they make a trip up to Grand Rapids, Mich., on Friday to take on Kuyper College at 7 p.m. Eastern time. They will then travel to Lansing, Mich., to take on Great Lakes Christian College on Saturday at 1 p.m. Eastern.
