MILWAUKEE - The Martin Luther College men's basketball team lost the second game of its back-to-back prior to the Thanksgiving break 87-58 at Wisconsin Lutheran College on Tuesday.

The Knights, coming off a 10-point win against Lakeland on Monday night, struggled to get going on either end against the Warriors on Tuesday as WLC raced to a 35-20 halftime lead.

The Warriors didn't give the Knights any signs of falling off as they shot 72.0 percent in the second half, building a lead bigger than 30 points on the way to the 29-point win.

The Knights shot 44.8 percent in the second half, but finished the game shooting 39.6 percent. MLC especially struggled from the outside, making just six of its 23 attempts from beyond the three-point arc. 

Jonathan Riebe was the lone MLC to finish in double figures with 11 points. Nate Lindloff added seven points, while Austin DeNoyer led the MLC bench players with six points. 

MLC fell to 1-2 on the season in defeat. WLC improved to 2-1 with the win.

The Knights will return to action with a game at Viterbo on Monday, November 26. That game is scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m.
