Coach's Corner
"Proud of how we competed tonight after a short turnaround. Coach Kaba does an amazing job with his guys at Del Val," Coach Sean Westerlund said. "We're learning what it takes to have an opportunity to win games. We have given ourselves a chance two games in a row. We are doing somethings that we really value like turning teams over, knocking down threes, and putting pressure on the paint. I thought Zay Cureton and Noah Riley were phenomenal off the bench. This group is getting better by the minute. We look forward to a fantastic test against a high quaility Neumann team on Tuesday."

Lions will travel to Neumann University Tuesday November 23 at 6 PM.
