Men’s basketball: 

The Warrior men wrap up a tough non-conference schedule stretch on Friday when LCSC plays host to Biola University of the Golden State Athletic Conference.

LCSC stands 6-4 on the season after posting a 4-2 record in three consecutive tournaments during the past three weekends. Last week, the Warriors defeated Corban College 68-53, but fell to undefeated Oregon Tech 60-56.

Biola brings a 6-2 mark to Lewiston in what appears to be a fairly even matchup. The two teams have one common opponent in Point Loma Nazarene, which is ranked No. 30 in the NAIA. LCSC lost to Point Loma by four points earlier this season on a neutral court, while Biola lost by three points on the road.

Biola features a balanced attack as five players are averaging in double figures. As a team, Biola is averaging 84 points a game.

Junior Danny Jones, a 6-foot-7 forward, leads Biola in scoring at 15.3 points per game and also is contributing 7.6 rebounds. Rocky Hampton, a 6-8 freshman, is averaging 14.6 points and a team-high 7.9 rebounds a game.

Mike Gordy and Teran Lee continue to lead the Warriors in scoring and both are averaging over 12 points a game.

This is the first of six consecutive home games for the Warrior men. LCSC will play host to the University of Fraser Valley in women’s and men’s doubleheaders on Dec. 20 and 21, both starting at 6 p.m. LCSC will also host doubleheaders against Bethany College on Dec. 29 and 30, and then will open Frontier Conference play on Jan. 6 at home against Westminster.
