Defeat or not, Lutheran got some senior leadership from Simon Hoeft and Jayden Means. Hoeft dropped a double-double on 29 points and 12 rebounds, while Means went 6 of 8 on his way to 16 points. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Hoeft has scored all season. The team also got some help courtesy of Luke Perez, who posted four points and five rebounds.
Even though they lost, Lutheran was working as a unit and finished the game with 15 assists. That's the most assists they've posted since back in January.
Lutheran's loss dropped their record down to 0-5. As for Cabrini, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-2.
Cabrini didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Lutheran in their previous meeting on December 3rd, but they still walked away with a 53-49 win. Does Cabrini have another victory up their sleeve, or will Lutheran turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
