The men’s basketball team obtained another victory against Baptist Bible College, 95-81 at the Nerney Field House. The Cavaliers have been on a 14-game winning streak this season.

This game meant a lot to the players, parents, spectators and coaches. This triumph against the Baptist Bible Defenders broke a record amidst Division III programs. The Cavaliers have won 32 games at home in their conference, which is the longest winning streak in the country among Division III programs. This game also honored the 2010-2011 seniors on the team, forward Dom Farrello and guard Lamar Fisher.

Cory Lemons, voted Student Athlete of the Week, led the Cavaliers in the game by scoring 30 points with 23 of those points coming in the second half of the game. Lemons had nine assists and eight rebounds and shot 10 for 15 overall.

The Cavaliers worked as a unit to defeat the Defenders. Keefer Francis, freshman guard, played 15 minutes and scored 10 points. Goran Dulac, sophomore center, scored 11 points on 4-for-8 from the field and John Boyd, junior guard, attained nine points and seven rebounds.

“We work hard and practice a lot. It takes a lot of dedication and commitment to do what we do on the court,” Francis, freshman pre-nursing major, said.
