LAKE SUPERIOR STATE 75, PARKSIDE 66
Brandon Trimble's 22 points wasn't enough as Parkside men's basketball was bested by Lake Superior State Saturday afternoon at Bud Cooper Gymnasium. The Lakers got a huge lift on turnovers, being +9 on the day and finished with 29 points off turnovers, while the Rangers had 10. Parkside returns home with a couple of tough opponents next weekend in Davenport and No. 11 Grand Valley State.
 
GAME SUMMARY
The Rangers started out hot, grabbing a 12-6 lead 5:00 into the ball game. The Lakers followed that up with a 9-0 run and never looked back.
