Quick Recap:

The Lights dropped a conference game Saturday night at Lewis-Clark State College. It was a game of ebbs, flows and momentum swings.

A three by Justin Dunsmore gave the Lights their first lead of the second half at 39-36 with 14:36 to go. The Lights extended that lead to as much as 10 points when Gabe Porter converted an LC turnover into points with a layup in transition at the 8:17 mark. Ryan Reeves again put the Lights up 10 on a two point bucket in the paint with 7:04 to go (55-45). LC erased the 10 point lead in four minutes and retook the lead (57-55) with 2:17 to go. The Lights managed to pull the game to within one point on a three pointer by Dunsmore with :05 seconds remaining, but LC was able to convert their foul shots in the final seconds and hold on to win the game 63-60.  The Lights were led in scoring by forward Justin Dunsmore on 5-7 field goal attempts, including 3-4 from three.  Caulin Bakalarski scored 13 on 4-9 shooting, going 1-3 from distance.
