WINONA LAKE, Ind. - Grace's men's basketball team displayed another efficient performance in a 92-78 win over Trinity Christian at the Manahan Orthopaedic Capital Center.

The No. 1 Lancers (11-0) thrilled the Friday afternoon crowd, which was filled with local students as part of Grace's annual Elementary Day doubleheader.

Grace flexed its patented balanced attack with eight players scoring at least eight points. Grace shot 53 percent from the floor and grabbed 14 more rebounds than the Trolls in the victory.

The Raasch brothers (Ian and Tyler) helped Grace at the onset of the contest, scoring Grace's first seven points. A 3-pointer from Grady Carpenter pushed the Lancers ahead 10-3, forcing an early timeout by Trinity.

A few minutes later, back-to-back scores from Gage Sefton opened up an 11-point edge.

But the Lancers' attack went cold, scoring just two more points over the next four minutes. The Trolls responded by slashing Grace's lead down to two.

Grace's bench boosted Grace's scoring; Michael Wellman led the charge with seven points in a three-minute span.

Trinity kept the score close and trailed by five with two minutes left in the half. But the Lancers ended the half on a flurry.

Gavin Betten, Hunter Walston and Sefton canned a trio of triples in 70 seconds, allowing Grace to enter halftime with a 44-30 lead.

Six players for Grace scored at least five points, led by Sefton's 10. The Lancers shot 59 percent as a team from the floor, including 6 of 11 (55 percent) on 3-pointers.

Ian Raasch notched five points in the opening two minutes of the second half. Shortly afterwards, Walston and Tyler Raasch swished trifectas as Grace led by 21.

The Lancers' attack sizzled to begin the second half. With nine minutes left, the Lancers owned a comfortable 28-point cushion (75-47).

Trinity did its best to generate a comeback, cutting Grace's lead in half over the closing minutes.

But the Lancers still maintained a double-digit lead for the rest of the half. Most of Grace's starters had exited the game with over five minutes left, allowing the Lancers' deep bench to close out the contest.

Grace had big edges in the game in fastbreak points (17-3), assists (22-14) and blocks (8-0).

Tyler Raasch led Grace in scoring with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, shooting 6 of 7 from the floor.

Ian Raasch did not miss a shot (5 of 5), finishing with 14 points, 4 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Walston produced 10 points, 9 boards, 4 assists and 1 steal, and Carpenter notched nine points with five assists.

Sefton finished with 10 points, 3 assists and 1 block, and Wellman had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block.

Betten (8 points, 5 boards, 4 assists, 1 block), Luke Bricker (8 points, 4 boards, 2 blocks) and Cole Hayworth (6 points) were sparks off the bench.
