MEQUON – The Lakeland University men's basketball team broke a five-game losing streak with a scorching-hot shooting performance, hitting 58.7% from the field in defeating Concordia University Wisconsin 109-87 Tuesday night.

The Muskies made 44 of 75 shots in the game, including 15 of 30 from three-point range (50.0%). Five players scored in double figures and four more scored at least seven points.

Lakeland never trailed in the second half, pulling away after the Falcons briefly closed to within 69-66 with 16 minutes, 13 seconds left in the game. A 10-0 run late was capped by a steal and layup by Greg Barber (Jr.-Miami, Fla.) to give the Muskies a 96-78 lead with 5:35 left, and Lakeland hit the 100-point mark with 4:34 left in the game on a layup by Jequan Pegeese (Jr.-Beloit, Wis.).
