SEGUIN, Texas – The Louisiana College men's basketball team continued its early-season hot streak while the women suffered their first loss of the young season Saturday in American Southwest Conference play against Texas Lutheran. While the men toughed out a 66-62 win, the Lady Cats fell 73-69.

In what was a close game throughout, the LC men held a 36-33 lead at the break and outscored Texas Lutheran 30-29 in the second half to log their third win of the season (the Wildcats stand at 3-2 overall and 2-1 in ASC play).

Sophomore guard Jarrod Jackson was on fire in the game scoring 21 points, pulling down eight rebounds, blocking two shots and dishing out three assists for LC.

Salmon, a 6-foot-9 post player, had a 10-point, 12-rebound double-double with two blocks while Mitchell, a guard, added 11 points, two steals and three assists in the win.

Texas Lutheran was led by Isaac Williams, who scored a game-high 25.
