Belleville, Ill. – After a rocky start, the Lindenwood – Belleville Lynx basketball team took the lead with about 15 minutes remaining in the first half and never looked back as it went on to a 87-63 victory over Logan College.

Rashad May was the star on offense for LU – Belleville, recording 20 points. May was solid on the other side of the ball as well, racking up nine steals in the game.

Logan College played right with the Lynx in the first minutes of the contest. However, fouls began to pile-up and LU – Belleville quickly jumped back in the game. The Lynx finished the first half up by 17 and continued to make Logan work for every point.

Also of note in the game was Lynx guard Allen Siedle. The junior from Waterloo, Ill., finished the game with 12 points. Siedle went 6-7 from the floor for the night and helped the Lynx to finish the game strong.

Lindenwood – Belleville improved to 10-14 on the season and will face Principia on Saturday at home. Tip-off is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. At halftime, Belleville Township High School basketball alumni will be honored as every living coach that led a team at the West Main St. location is expected to be on hand.
