This was the first test for the Crusaders in regional play. The boys got off to a flying start, leading by as many as 17 before the Red Lions mounted a comeback in the closing stages. The lead got down to seven with two minutes to play, but a set of defensive stops and fast-break buckets put the game away in the end. The Crusaders were led by their first double-double performances of the season; Kyle Downing with 37 points and ten rebounds, and Maurice Jordan putting up 25 with ten boards of his own, as well as six steals. The team shot 52% from the floor and out-rebounded LCU 44-22.

Great Lakes' offense continues to improve, shooting over 40% from the floor, but allowing Concordia 24 offensive rebounds, as well as giving away 32 points at the line, proved to be too much of a hurdle to overcome. John Schaeffer led Concordia with 27 points, including 8-13 shooting from the arc. Kyle Downing and Mike Vickers led the scoring with 13 apiece, Devlin Jefferson also contibuted 12 points to the cause. The Crusaders' road trip continues on the 19th, as they take on Ohio Christian University in Centerville, Ohio at 7:00.

The team put together an admirable first half effort, down only be four, 31-27, at the half. In the second half, however, the defence fell apart as Holy Cross shot 7/15 from beyond the arc and 55% from the floor in general.   The Crusaders were led statistically once again by Kyle Downing with 15 points and nine rebounds.   The Crusaders go to Concordia Tuesday night to start a 13-day, four-game road trip.

Friday night saw them suffer defeat at the hands of the host, Bethel College, by a score of 126-74. Saturday was not much of an improvement, as they lost 87-48 to Marion College. Kyle Downing led the Lakes with 15 points. The Crusaders host Holy Cross College-Notre Dame Monday night at 7:00 in the Doty Center.

Shooting an anemic 21% from the floor and en even worse 3/18 from the free throw line, Great Lakes' performance could be described only as listless and uninspiring, to say the least. Seven different Aquinas players outscored the Crusaders' leading scorer.   Returning home for their first home game, however, the team seemed to find some life, as they battled with Huntington University they next night. The team found themselves in a 14-point hole early, but led by 14-point performances from Maurice Jordan and Devlin Jefferson, rallied to cut it to two on two separate occasions before finally falling short, 85-75.   Overall, the team performed much better; shooting 47% from the floor and 4/5 from the stripe, and limiting themselves to 12 turnovers.   "We're a work in progress" says assisstant coach Carmichael Gully, "we're still lazy on defence, but we're getting better."   The Crusaders go to Bethel, Indiana for the Bethel Tournament later this week.

Kyle Downing led GLCC with 21 points and nine rebounds. Three RedHawks scored 17 or more points, led by Devin Ellis with 24.   Next up for the Crusaders; a clash at Aquinas on Monday.     GAME STATS   GLCC   IUNW 80 Score 90 55(22) Reb (Off) 63(17) 32/91 FGM/A 33/77 35.2 FG% 42.9 9/18 FTM/A 17/26 50 FT% 65.4 27 Turnovers 31 Colton Thu, 01 Nov 2012 18:08:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:154
