[DEC.
1, 2000]
The
Midwest Regional Tipoff has begun at Lincoln Christian College. Yesterday
evening, Lincoln and Moody Bible Institute played the first game of the
eight-team tournament. The teams were close at the half, Lincoln leading 32-29.
In the second half, Lincoln held onto its lead and slightly increased it to win
78-66.
According
to Lincoln’s coach Kirk, "Neither team played well. It was a very sloppy
game…except both teams played hard, just not well." Coach Kirk did have
some praise for his team. He noted, "The bench came in and gave quality
minutes and played well." Coach Kirk referred to players Jake Raymer and
Josh Weber, who came off the bench and scored, and Donnie Bowman, who came off
the bench and rebounded 10 balls. Raymer made one 3-pointer and another field
goal to earn 5 points total for his team. Weber scored three field goals in
addition to his one 3-pointer, and earned a total of 9 points for his team.
Bowman scored two field goals and a 3-pointer to add 7 points to Lincoln’s
score.
Coach
Randy Kirk was impressed with his team’s ability to shut down Moody’s
Marsceau. Marsceau made 11 points in the first half, but Lincoln allowed him
only 5 more points in the second half.
Matt
Clark definitely led Lincoln in the second half of the game. He had only 2
points at halftime, but by the end of the game he had four 3-pointers, four
2-point field goals, and five free throws, to make 25 points. The rest of the
individual statistics were as follows: Zach Below 1-1-3, Dante Watson 4-0-8,

20. Also contributing double figures for coach McCullum were Eric
Crockrell with 17, Maurice Shurney with 16 and Brian Moffitt with 15.

LCC
Angels bag first win of the season
|
[NOV.
29, 2000]
Led
by former LCHS Lady Railers Brittany Robbins and Steph Urton and a magnificent
game by Michelle O'Malley, the LCC Angels sent Principia packing 66-52 last
night here in Lincoln. The raucous crowd was excited by the win, but that paled
in comparison to the looks of satisfaction on the Lincoln girls’ faces!
Lincoln grabbed their first halftime lead of the year at 27-25 and withstood a
couple of Principia runs late in the game. After Steph Urton returned from a leg
injury late in the second half, she controlled the offense, making sure that the
ball got into the hands of Robbins and O'Malley down the stretch.
Lincoln
Christian College had six 3-pointers during the game, all made by Robbins. Added
to six other field goals and two free throws, Robbins made 32 points — almost
half of the team’s total! O’Malley made almost a third of the team’s
points with six field goals and six free throws, for a total of 18 points. Urton
made five field goals for 10 points. Spiering, Davis and Flaherty each made one
2-point field goal. In total, the Angels had 26 field goals and eight free
throws.
Merrill
made all of Principia’s five 3-pointers in the game and almost half of the
team’s total points. The team made 21 field goals and five free throws to
yield 52 points.
Next up for the
LCC ladies is a tournament this weekend in Nashville, Tenn.
