NASHVILLE, Tenn. --
Another close game dropped on the wrong side of the
ledger for the Lyon College Scots.
Lyon College guards Jonathan Donaldson
and Trey Salley combined for 41 points, but couldn't
shake the Scots out of a season-long TranSouth
Conference slump in a 71-66 loss to the Trevecca
Nazarene Trojans Saturday.
The conference loss was the Scots' ninth
straight, dropping the team to 9-12 overall and 0-9 in
the TranSouth. Trevecca improves to 14-7 and 7-2 in
league play.
Donaldson scored a game-high 24 points on
9 of 17 shooting from the field -- including a 4 of 7
clip from 3-point range -- and 2 of 2 from the free
throw line. Donaldson also had a team-high eight
rebounds. Salley kicked in 17 points on 6 of 12 shooting
from the field and was 5 of 10 from the arc.
Despite the stellar performances from its
guard combo, Lyon couldn't find another scorer to help
end the conference slide. Only one other Scot, Alex
Kelly (with five), accounted for more than four points
in the contest.
Trevecca had four players scoring in
double figures led by Rick James with 18 points. Josh
Helton added 16 points, Collins Onyando had 13 points
and nine boards and Brian Oduor accounted for 13 points.
