WINONA LAKE, Ind. - Grace's men's basketball team secured an outright claim on the 2026 Crossroads League regular season championship on Saturday.

The Lancers (25-3) held off Goshen 86-84 at the Manahan Orthopaedic Capital Center to polish off a championship campaign.

The No. 2 Lancers have won four consecutive CL titles in the regular season. They've also won four straight CL Tournament championships and will aim for a fifth starting next week.

Grace, as the No. 1 seed in the tournament, will host No. 8 Spring Arbor on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the quarterfinals. Grace will continue to host through the semifinals (on Saturday, Feb. 28) and the championship (Tuesday, March 3) as long as they continue to win.

Gage Seton led all players with 19 points, becoming the 61st member of Grace's 1,000 point club in the process. Hunter Walston tallied a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.

The Lancers were plagued with turnovers in the first half, turning the ball over three times in the first 3:10.

But the Lancers' shooting helped even the tide as Grace made seven of its first eight field goals. Hunter Walston was an early force with eight points over the opening five minutes of action.

Grace eventually built its lead up to eight with 11:50 remaining. But Goshen quickly erased the deficit with a 10-0 run.

The teams traded points over the final eight minutes of the half, and Grace held a narrow 43-40 lead into halftime.

Grace shot 55 percent as a team compared to 46 percent for Goshen. But the Maple Leafs had just one turnover (compared to nine for Grace) and made seven 3-pointers in the half (compared to two for Grace).

Walston amassed all 14 of his points in the opening half, and Tyler Raasch added 10 more.

Gage Sefton and Michael Wellman got Grace off to a strong start in the second half. The duo combined to score 15 of Grace's points in a row, pushing the Lancers on top 58-45.

Goshen refused to fade, however, and slowly chipped away at Grace's cushion.

With 8:02 on the clock, Grace's lead had dwindled to four. But two layups from Luke Bricker and Gage Sefton helped re-establish an eight-point margin.

The Lancers sat on top by 10 with four minutes remaining after a layup from Gavin Betten, but the Maple Leafs continued to hang around.

Goshen managed to pull within one with 15 seconds remaining, but Cannen Houser calmly swished two clutch free throws in response.

Goshen countered with two free throws of its own, only for Sefton to respond by going 2 for 2 at the free throw line to ice the game.
