[February 22, 2018]    The Lincoln College Men’s Basketball team traveled to Danville Area Community College (DACC) on Wednesday and came home with a 70-59 win over the #12 ranked Jaguars.

 

Lincoln (#19), took a two point lead into halftime (30-28) then came out firing in the second half to extend their advantage to as many as 17 points in the second half. The Lynx (20-5) were able to control the tempo of play the rest of the way for an 11-point victory.

Lincoln Coach Pat Lepper enjoyed seeing his team perform at a high level against a ranked opponent. “We won because we played together,” he said. “It was a great team win in a tough environment.”

The Lynx will look to add to their win total on Saturday at Illinois Central College. Game time is set for 3:00 p.m.
