MILWAUKEE - The Wisconsin Lutheran College
men's basketball team fell victim to a 21-5 second-half run by MSOE
as it fell to the host Raiders 69-55 in a Northern Athletics
Conference game Saturday night at the Kern Center.
The Warriors opened up the game firing all on cylinders as they
began with a 9-0 run, capped off by a senior Tim Demuth
(Franksville, Wis./Wisconsin Lutheran) three-pointer. MSOE
responded, however, as it scored 11 of the next 13 points to tie
the game at 11-11 with 10:21 remaining in the first half.
The rest of the first half was a back-and-forth affair, with
MSOE making the last run as the Raiders held a 24-21 lead after 20
minutes of play.
MSOE would build its lead to seven points early in the second
half before WLC responded with a 13-2 run, again capped off by a
Demuth three-pointer for a 36-32 lead with 12:40 remaining in the
game. The Warriors lead was cut to 36-35 and then the Raiders broke
the game open with the 21-5 run to take a commanding 56-41 lead
with 3:36 remaining. MSOE would hold that lead en route to the
14-point victory.
Demuth led the Warriors as he finished with a team-best 14
points. Sophomore Brett Lubbe (Las Vegas, Nev./Faith Lutheran) and
senior Nate Bauer (Lake Mills, Wis./Lakeside Lutheran) each added
nine points, while Lubbe and senior Julion Griffin (Milwaukee,
Wis./Wisconsin Lutheran) each grabbed a team-best six rebounds for
WLC. Griffin also tallied a team-best four assists.
MSOE (4-2, 2-0 NAC) was led by John Cording who poured in a
game-high 16 points while also adding seven rebounds. Victor Bande
added 15 points for the Raiders with Austin Stueck scoring nine
points and dishing out seven assists.
Wisconsin Lutheran (1-6, 0-2 NAC) returns to the court Wednesday
when it visits Rockford (1-4, 1-0 NAC) in a NAC South Division
contest. The Warriors and Regents will tip off at 7 p.m. at the
Seaver Center in Rockford, Ill. Fans can follow the action via live
