With a 15-11 final overall record and second place conference finish the Cal Lutheran men's basketball team landed three players on the 2009-2010 All-SCIAC Team. Senior Kyle Knudsen was selected to the first team while senior Andy Meier and junior Greg Grimm nabbed second team honors.
After the first two regular season meetings were decided by five total points, needing a pair of overtimes to figure Friday night's playoff decision at Voelkel Gymnasium was little surprise. This time the decisive three-pointer was landed by Pomona-Pitzer's Adam Chaimowitz late in double overtime providing a 74-71 margin.
After earning national recognition to begin the season with a No. 14 D3Hoops.com preseason ranking, the Kingsmen basketball team is once again spotlighted in this week's Around the Nation column. Written off by most, CLU climbed the conference ladder to earn its spot in the SCIAC Tournament semifinal contest tonight at Pomona-Pitzer.
Both teams earned the No. 3 seed for the upcoming 2009-10 SCIAC Postseason Tournament coming up this week. Both games will be played at 7:30 p.m. with the Regals traveling to Redlands on Thursday and the Kingsmen out to Pomona-Pitzer on Friday.
For the second time this season senior Kyle Knudsen of the Cal Lutheran men's basketball team has been voted as the SCIAC Male Athlete of the Week announced on Wednesday. The Tualatin, Ore. native collected this honor after scoring 26 points in both of his games during the week of Feb. 15-21.
After its season came down to a virtual must-win situation in each of the final seven games to make the SCIAC tournament, the Cal Lutheran men's basketball team did just that with seven consecutive wins including a 74-67 victory over first place Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges in Gilbert Arena on Tuesday.
The Cal Lutheran men's basketball team put itself in position to secure a SCIAC Tournament berth with a Tuesday victory following a 78-71 road win over Whittier on Saturday. Aaron Fisher and Kyle Knudsen combined for 51 points in CLU's six straight conference victory.
Never trailing on Wednesday night the Cal Lutheran men's basketball team reeled off an 84-72 win over Redlands inside Gilbert Arena. After suffering its two largest defeats of the season to the Bulldogs earlier this year, the Kingsmen avenged those losses by knocking UR out of contention for a conference title.
