The Trevecca men's basketball team faced Lambuth University tonight in a very physical battle. The Trojans jumped out in front early thanks to a team shooting percentage of 50% from the field and led 40-31 at the half. The second half proved to be a different story as Trevecca came out flat with Lambuth going on a 22-4 run to start the half. The Trojans tried to mount a comeback thanks to the physical play of senior Jared Austin who led the Trojans with 16 points and 8 rebounds. Senior Will Partin contributed 11 points and grabbed 7 steals while junior David Stark put in 10 points and 9 rebounds. Sophomores Brandon Howard scored 11 points and Wesley Poe scored 6 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Despite the physical play, the Trojans took the loss 70-77. Trevecca falls to 1-1 on the season.
