Against North Platte, EWC got off to a slow start, facing a 9-0 deficit after less than three minutes of action. By halftime, the Lancers trailed 55-29. They slowly chipped away at the lead in the second half, bringing their deficit to below 20 points several times, but North Platte distanced itself toward the end to get the big win.
“They tried to battle back and they fixed they’re problems but once we hit a couple runs, (North Platte) would call a timeout and slow us down,” coach Neal Sherbeyn said.
Four Lancers scored in double-figures on Friday. Petar Skoknic was the highest scorer, with 15 points. Four of his points came from the charity stripe. He had two rebounds and an assist as well. Ahmad Pratt was the other starter in double-digits, with 12 points. His four rebounds and two assists were both team-highs.
