Lions
Even Record, Beat Falcons 58-51

Louisville
had the final run of the game, claiming a 58-51 win over the visiting
D. C. West Falcons. The LHS victory, their fifth in the last six games,
evens the Lions’ record at 7-7 while the Falcons, losers of four
straight, fall to 5-9.
The Lions, who never trailed the entire second half, led 50-42 after
senior center Sam Long converted the first of two free throws with 5:12
remaining.
That’s when D.C. West went on an 8-1 run over the next two minutes,
tightening the score at 51-50. But the Lions answered by ending the
game on a 7-1 run of their own, using steady free throw shooting by
Josh Bouvier, 3-for-4, and Jake Snodgrass, 2-for-2, before Long’s
lay-up at the end of the game capped off the big win for Louisville.
“It’s a process,” said Louisville head coach Colin
Lansman, “We want to be playing our best at tournament time. We
still have some tough games coming up, but I like where we’re
at.”
Snodgrass’s 23 points, a career best for the 6’ 0”
senior, paced the Louisville offense while classmate Tucker Anderson
was the other Lion in double figures with 10 points.
“I was very proud of our guys tonight,” continued Lansman.
“It took a great defensive effort to make up for almost 30 turnovers.
We did not handle the ball well and played too tentative when the game
got close. Ultimately, we overcame a lot of adversity and did what we
had to do down the stretch. Some guys stepped up and played some solid
minutes late in the game after having not played a lot early. We've
got ourselves on a roll right now and it feels good to be playing well.
We've got another challenge ahead in conference opponent Yutan. It will
be a great challenge for our defense.”
Yutan (6-6, 3-2 in conference) hosts the Lions, 3-2 in ECNC action,
on Thursday with the winner claiming fourth place in the ECNC standings.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30.
