Box Score MANKATO, Minn. - Bethany began a five-game homestand Saturday as they entertained Wisconsin Lutheran for a men's basketball non-conference contest. The Warriors built a 19-point halftime lead en route to a 74-60 win over the Vikings.

Despite being down big at the break, the Vikings staged a nice second half rally to cut WLC's lead to single digits halfway through the half. The Warriors still had their 19 point lead at 55-36 with 14:56 remaining before Bethany went on a 12-0 spurt to pull within seven at 55-48 with 11:05 to go. All Bethany points during the run were scored by newcomers. Zach Brandts, Melvin Kromah, Nate Chadderdon, and Neil Eichten all scored with scoring six of the 12 points.

WLC's Christian Walz stopped the run with a 3 as the Warriors proceeded to score the game's next seven points to rebuild their lead to 14 and their lead remained in double digits the rest of the way.

Eichten led BLC with 14 points on 7-for-10 shooting. DJ Escamilla led four Warrior players in double digits with 17 points.

Bethany (0-4) next plays Wednesday at home against UW-Stout.
