Lincoln Land held a large first half lead, but did not hold on and eventually fell to Illinois Wesleyan's JV 77-67. 
 
In the first half the Loggers had a 18-0 run to put themselves up 34-20 with around 5:30 to go in the half. Sophomore Trace Gentry sparked the run as he went 5-6 from behind the arc in the first half for a total 17 first half points. Unfortunately for the Loggers, Lincoln Land did not capitalize on their advantage as Illinois Wesleyan closed on a 13-4 run to cut the Logger lead to 38-33 at half. 
 
The second half proved nearly all Illinois Wesleyan's game. Illinois Wesleyan led 69-51 at one point to lead by a game high 18. Lincoln Land was able to cut back into the lead, but never got back closer than 9. 
 
"This was a disappointing loss from the stand point of when we did what we wanted and practice to do, we were successful. Once we bailed on some of those things is when things went south. We will continue to have to work on those things at practice." – Head Coach Chad Jones 
 
20 turnovers and cold shooting doomed the Loggers who committed 20 turnovers and went 2/15 from behind the arc in the second half to shoot less than 40% from the field. 
 
Sophomore D'Aaron Owens had a game high 21. Trace Gentry ended the game with 17. 
 
Lincoln Land is now 5-2 on the season. They will stay at home and take on Robert Morris Springfield on Saturday.
