After being behind at the break, 44-35, the Crusaders rallied behind 39 points from Kyle Downing, much of which came from 7/9 shooting beyond the arc. With 1.7 seconds to go, DeAngelo Brown shot a well-defended game-tying three to send it to overtime. Only at the very end of overtime were the Eagles able to get away, and won only by the slightest of margins, 96-94. Maurice Jordan scored 13 points and Tyler Piercefield led the team with 10 rebounds. The team will get a much-deserved sabbatical over Christmas break before returning to action on January 12 at Kuyper.

On the 5th, the team fell short 75-50 at Huntington University, a team that they had nearly upset a home, the month before. The team shot a paltry 35.6% from the floor in the loss. After falling on the road to Holy Cross-Notre Dame by ten on the 10th, the Crusaders hosted Spring Arbor last night. The team trailed by only six at the break, 36-30, but a ten-point SAU run put the game away for good. Kyle Downing led the GLCC effort with 22 points. Also in action this week were the JV squad, as they saw their first home action on Saturday, falling only at the last, 78-77, in a friendly against Detroit Jobs Corps. DeAngelo Brown led the Crusaders with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Next up for GLCC; a men's and women's doubleheader that starts at 2:00 on Saturday at the Doty Center against Robert Morris.

On Friday, Great Lakes led 31-25 at the break over Northland International, but fell on a buzzer-beater; 67-64. Maurice Jordan had a double-double with 19points and 13 rebounds, leading the Lakes in both categories. Saturday saw the Crusaders behind at the break, 43-35 to Maranatha, but they came back and forced overtime, tying the game at 68. But overtime would see the Crusaders off, as Maranatha scored with only two seconds remaining to pull out a 75-73 win. Devlin Jefferson led the way with 17 points, and Jordan picked up ten rebounds along with his eight points. The Crusaders got to Huntington for a rematch Wednesday at 7:00.  Colton Wed, 05 Dec 2012 14:11:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:172
