 The LCU women played at 1 p.m. against the Faith Eagles in the
second of their home-and-home series. When LCU visited the Eagles in
Ankeny, Iowa, last month, the Red Lions walked away with a 55-37
win. As impressive as the first game was, Saturday's game saw the
Red Lions with an even greater triumph over their perennial
challengers.
The home team dominated the first half, outscoring the Eagles by
19 points and going into the locker room with a solid 36-17 lead.
The second half wasn't even that close. The Red Lions opened the
second half with an unanswered 19 points in the first seven minutes.
The Eagles would manage only 11 points in the remaining 13 minutes
of the game. The Red Lions took a huge 74-28 win, the fifth straight
win for the women's team
Junior guard Tatiana Colclasure (Effingham /Effingham High) led
the scoring for the Red Lions with a season-high 29 points. She was
followed by junior forward Alicia Carson (Gobles, Mich./Bloomingdale
High) with 12 points.

The LCU men's team hosted Great Lakes Christian College at 3 p.m.
While the home team chased the game for the entire 40 minutes and
was down by 19 points at halftime, they made the best of the second
half and closed the gap to just three points in the closing minute.
It would not be enough, however, as the Red Lions could not earn the
last few points to take the lead, and the LCU men dropped their 12th
game of the year, 76-71.
Sophomore forward Raymond Shegog (Sun River Terrace/Lincoln
College) led LCU scorers with 20 points, followed by senior guard
Blake Saathoff (Bruce, S.D./Estelline High) with 12 points.
Christian Lowry (Sadorus/Arthur Christian High) and Jimmy Smylie
(Springfield/Calvary Academy) each pulled in eight rebounds.
On Tuesday the men's team will host Illinois Institute of
Technology at Gaston Arena with a 7 p.m. start time.
