MAYFIELD, Ky. -- The Lyon College Scots
suffered their fourth consecutive TranSouth Conference
loss Saturday with a 92-84 road loss to the
Mid-Continent Cougars.
Dynamic Scots guard Jonathan Donaldson
scored 28 points and pulled down six rebounds, but Lyon
College couldn't overcome a 18-12 offensive rebounding
deficit that led to many second-chance points for the
Cougars. Lyon's Matt Owens accounted for an additional
21-point, nine-rebound effort and teammate Levi Taylor
tallied 13 points and seven rebounds.
Mid-Continent's Brian Hewitt led all
scorers with 31 points and added six rebounds. Zac Simms
dropped in 18 points and Justin Reed had 13 for the
Cougars.
Lyon College shot 49
percent (32-of-65) from the field and 5-of-10 from
3-point range, but hit on just 15-of-27 attempts (56
percent) from the free-throw line.
Mid-Continent scored on
38-of-73 chances (52 percent) from the field and on
7-of-18 shots (39 percent) from the arc. The Cougars
were 12-of-20 from the charity stripe and out-rebounded
the Scots 38-34.
The loss sinks Lyon
College to 9-7 overall and 0-4 in league play.
Mid-Continent improves to 10-5 and 1-3 in conference
action.
