Men's Basketball:  Lincoln Tops Silver Lake College by 13
 

[January 29, 2019] 

The Lincoln College Men’s Basketball team picked up their 17th win of the season on Saturday with a 72-59 victory at home over Silver Lake College from Wisconsin.

The Lynx (17-7) never trailed in this contest, taking a 13-point lead into the halftime break and extending their advantage to as many as 20 points in the second half.

Lincoln’s senior guard Lejavius Johnson (Glenwood) turned in a monster game, leading his team in points scored with 22 and pulling down 14 rebounds to record a double-double. Senior forward J.J. Turner (Chicago) had a team high 18 rebounds, while Darnell Latham Jr. (Chicago) and Trayvon Tyler (Rockford) also reached double-digits in scoring for LC. Latham was good for 19 points and Tyler scored 10.

LC Head Coach Pat Lepper liked the effort he saw from his players in this game. “We did a nice job of rebounding today, especially in the second half,” said Lepper. “I thought we could have done a better job on the offensive side of the court, but the defensive effort we put out on the floor more than made up for it.”
 

Lincoln’s next test will be a road game on Wednesday, January 30th at Indiana University Northwest. Tip-off is set for 7:30 PM.
