Trinity came out strong in the first quarter
and controlled the pace of play to go up 21-8. Lincoln picked up
their game in the second quarter and was able to stay with the
Trolls, but still went into the halftime break down by 14 at
45-31.
Trinity turned up the heat on LC in the third quarter to
outscore them 31 to 15 and take a commanding lead. LC was unable
to recover and eventually settled for a 93-67 defeat.
Sophomore forward Kaleia Monteiro (Rockford) led Lincoln with 21
rebounds and 15 points. Nautica Preston, a junior guard from
Chicago, Illinois, led all scorers with 23 points in the game.
Preston also added two assists.
LC Coach DeRonte Polite sees the loss in his team’s first game
as a varsity program as a learning experience for his squad. “We
did not have a good showing today,” said Polite. “I know we are
better than what we displayed. We will continue to work hard and
seek to have a better showing on Wednesday.”
Polite added, “There were a few bright spots, so we will look to
build on those as we prepare for William Woods University.”
Lincoln will travel to face William Woods University on October
31st at 7:00 PM.
