The Lewis and Clark Trailblazers Men's Basketball team started 2012 off with an 80-72 win over Mineral Area Community College at home in River Bend Arena on Wednesday, Jan. 4.

"The team got off to a good start and maintained control throughout the game," said Head Coach Deon Thomas. "It was a total team effort and our best game of this young season. We played very good team defense holding them to 36 percent 2 point shooting, 23 percent from beyond the arch and winning the rebounding battle by 12."

Dominique Walls (17) and Aqui Shareef (13) led the Trailblazers in scoring, but a balanced attack kept MAC at bay.

The team's record is now 5-6.
