Box Score
LONGVIEW, Texas – The Louisiana College men suffered a heartbreaking loss Saturday, falling 57-56 to American Southwest Conference foe LeTourneau.

The LC men (6-10, 6-8 ASC) led by as many as 11 and trailed by as many as eight in the contest but fell one point short when they failed to convert a layup with just three seconds to play.

Worse for the Wildcats, LeTourneau (4-15, 3-12 ASC) outrebounded LC 46-25 and scored 16 second-chance points to LC's 5.

The loss overshadowed solid performances by three LC seniors.

Korey Salmon (Deville, La./Buckeye HS), Jarrod Jackson (Albany, La./Albany HS) and Jelani Mitchell (St. Martinville, La./St. Martinville HS) scored 16, 12 and 10 points respectively.

LeTourneau was led by Kendrae Carter with 18 points.

Louisiana College returns home next week for a pair of conference games, the first of which will take place Thursday at 7:30 p.m. when LC hosts Texas-Tyler.
