Allen leads Dragons to opening night win

by Joel Worthington

TUSKEGEE, Ala. - The Lane College men's basketball team opened their season on Friday night in the SIAC/GSC Challenge, this year hosted by Tuskegee University.

It took overtime, but the Dragons put away Shorter University by a score of 80-74.

Kelvin Allen led the way for Lane with 22 points and was especially great from the free throw line going 9-for-10.

Newcomer Julian Eziukwu added 13 points and Maximillion Bell chipped in 12 points.

The Dragons dominated the Eagles in second chance points, outscoring the Gulf South Conference foe 18-6. Lane's transition offense also dealt Shorter fits as Andre Turner's squad outscored their opponent 16-4 in fast break points.

Lane will play again on Saturday as part of the intra-conference invitational when they take on Union University at 1:00 PM.
