For
the second game in a row, a strong start by LLCC was wasted as
they couldn't sustain the effort. Over the first 15:00 the
Loggers never trailed and led by as many as 10 leading 21-11.
Mineral Area was able to finish the half by taking their first
lead with 3:00 to go in the first half. The Loggers were able to
keep the advantage by going into half up 32-31.
The second half was a different contest. Mineral Area used a
quick burst out of the gate and ran away with the game scoring
44 to the Loggers 24. The Mineral Area pressure forced 11 second
half turnovers and held LLCC to a twenty-seven shooting
percentage from the floor. As Mineral Area pulled away, the
Loggers could not string together enough stops and scores to
remain competitive and eventually fell by a game high 19 point
deficit at the end.
Camren Kincaid led all scorers with 18 and also pulled in a game
high 9 rebounds and dishing out 3 assists. Michael Ousley
reached double digits in points with 12.
Lincoln Land falls to 5-9 on the season and heads back on the
road Wednesday to try to get back in the win column.
Mineral Area Community College - 75
Lincoln Land Community College - 56
