Wisconsin Lutheran 56, Wauwatosa East 34

In their first road game of the 2009-2010 season, the Vikings emerged from Wauwatosa East with a 56-34 victory. The Vikings played stellar defense out of the gate, holding the Red Raiders scoreless for the first four minutes of the game and opening up an 8-0 lead. However, Tosa East responded with excellent defense of their own and held Wisco scoreless for the next four minutes. After the first quarter, it was a 1-point affair, 8-7.

Wisco was again able to force the Red Raiders into an extended scoring drought in the second quarter, and this time the Vikings were able to keep their offense going as well. An 8-0 run over the middle four minutes of the quarter gave Wisco a comfortable cushion that would last the rest of the game. In the second half, the Vikings kept up their defensive effort and continued to find holes in the Tosa East defense to push the margin wider and wider until they finished with a 22-point advantage.

Terry Nash played his finest game of the season, scoring 15 points on 7-8 shooting from the field. He stole the ball three times and was efficient and patient in running the offense. Flavien Davis turned in his first double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds. He also added 4 assists to lead Wisco in that category. The Vikings shot 53% for the game while holding the Red Raiders to 34%, outrebounded Tosa East 33-18, and forced the home team into 18 turnovers.

Next up for the Vikings is conference foe Hartford. Wisco takes to the road to face the Orioles on Tuesday, December 15. Game time is 7:30 PM.
