Gardy's Gab: "We were very patient tonight, but had a very good consistent team effort. I was pleased with how we played - it's been a while. Our practices have been better lately and we were able to carry it over into the game.  We have another break now (finals week) and so we will use that time to continue to work on different aspects of our play. Overall, I was pleased with our team effort."

Next Up: The Lakers will play host to Mid-Michigan College on Friday (12/15). Tip-off is scheduled for 6:00 pm.
