A quick 6-0 spurt to start the game was just enough to spark Texas Lutheran, who led from start to finish, as the Bulldogs defeated LeTourneau University, 82-71, in men's basketball action on Friday in Seguin.

LeTourneau (1-3) had three in double figures including freshman Caleb Loggins (pictured), who had a team-high 16. He was joined by junior Jeff Martin and senior C.J. Edwards, who added 11 and 10 points, respectively. Martin also had had six assists and five rebounds and sophomore Alec Colhoff had a team-high seven boards.

Texas Lutheran (4-1) also had three double figures in the win including a double double performance by Sterling Holmes, who had a game-high 23 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Bulldogs.

The YellowJackets found themselves behind as much as 24 but they were resilient. Late in the second half, LETU had a spurt that brought them within eight, 79-71, with 1:08 to go.

LETU will face Schreiner on Saturday at Nov. 27 at 2 p.m. in its final game of the TLU Thanksgiving Classic.
