In their latest game against St. Clair County Community College on Wednesday, Nov. 20 in the Gannon Gym, the LCC Stars defended their home court, winning 71-66.

Sophomore Darious Young led LCC with 21 points and nine rebounds. Sophomore Skyler Wilson led the Stars with four assists.

The win brought the Stars' season record to 4-1.

According to LCC Head Coach Mike Ingram, the Stars were 0 for 10 in the first half of the game on three-point shot attempts. He said in the second half, sophomore Tevin Ali provided a spark.

 "I think Tevin Ali woke up for us," Ingram said. "(He) made some big plays (and) had a couple 'and ones.'"

The Stars only loss this season was at Cuyahoga Community College on Nov. 16, 58-53.
