Trinity Bible College vs FLBC

Recap

In a key NIAC match-up, the Conquerors took on the Lions from Trinity Bible College on Friday night. Playing at home for the final weekend of the regular season, the Conquerors took a commanding lead early against the Lions, relying on hot shooting from the outside and tenacious defense. However, just when it looked like the game was getting away from them, the Lions clawed back, closing a 20 point deficit to 13 at the half. In the second half, it was more of the same as every time the Conquerors looked to pull away, the Lions fought hard to close the gap. In the end, the Conquerors shooting and resolve proved to be too much to overcome with the home team winning by a final score of 87-74. The Lions shot poorly for the game though did produce balanced scoring with 5 players in double-figures. Logan Klitzke had 13 points and 16 rebounds on the night with Khalil Bolden contributing 14 points and 11 rebounds of his own. For the Conquerors, it was a different story as they shot 45% from the floor, including 43% from 3-point land. Micah Olson had a big night with 15 points and an amazing 19 rebounds. Micah Moan was 10-13 from the floor, scoring 26 points along with 7 assists. Phil Berge scored 13 including 3-4 from behind the arc. Luther Zeltinger also scored 13 and went 3-6 on 3’s. With the win, the Conquerors leap-frogged over two teams to move into 3rd place in the conference with the NIAC tournament less than a week away. The same two teams will meet tonight in the final game of the regular season.
