The Lions went to Iowa Falls Friday night looking to avenge the loss the Cadets handed them in the first game of the season.  They didn’t get the win, but a much better outing has made Coach Kevin Kahler and his team believers that the third time may be the charm if the Lions meet IF-A on the tournament trail.

Back on Nov. 27, the Cadets topped the Lions 67-58 in the season-opener.  

Friday IF-A, 9-2 overall and leading the North Central Conference, escaped with a 59-57 victory.
