Leading the way for the Lancers were seniors Sho Fukasawa with 15 points and August Hecker with 14. Hecker also had 6 assists. Juniors Aiden Franzen and Matthew Schultz each had 6 rebounds.
On Friday night, the Lancers hosted the Howards Grove Tigers in another Big East matchup losing 46-57. The Lancers were within 4 points with under a minute to go, but free throws made down the stretch by the Tigers secured their victory. Leading the way was Franzen with 12 points and sophomore Noah Czarneski with 10. Schultz and Czarneski also had 6 rebounds each, Hecker had 4 assists and Fukasawa had 4 steals. Head Coach Scott Loberger commented, "Noah Lukasek, a sophomore, made the move up to the Varsity and because of injury and illness was thrust into starting on Friday. He handled it all very well.".
