No. 19 Carroll MBB rocks Frontier with road upset of No. 3 LCSC

HELENA, Mont. -- Skeptics called it luck the first time. 

Then, the Fighting Saints went and proved it again. 

The No. 19-ranked Carroll College men's basketball did something no other team has this season, defeating No. 3-ranked Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho, 68-57.

It's the Saints' second win over the powerful Warriors. The Saints (20-8, 11-5 Frontier Conference) once again slew the Frontier's top gun, a team that sent shock waves through the region when it knocked off NCAA D-I Idaho earlier this season. 

LCSC (25-3, 13-3) has fallen only thrice this season. Carroll owns two of those wins. The Saints defeated the Warriors 78-69 back on December 6 in the PE Center, both teams' second conference game of the season.

This one meant a little more. 

Dane Warp scored a game-high 30 points, just three points off his season high. He knocked down 5-of-6 threes on the evening and shot 10-for-16 from the field.

Jovan Sljivancanin finished with his 18th double-double of the season, scoring 17 points and adding 13 rebounds. 

LCSC received a game-high 16 points from Travis Yenor.

The Saints kept it close at halftime, trailing 31-30. The sides traded blows until the Saints built a two-possession lead with about 10 minutes remaining. The Saints never looked back after that, extending the lead to double figures in the final minute to secure the road upset. 

It was the Warriors' second loss this week. LCSC fell to Montana Tech in Butte, Montana, on Thursday. 

Carroll currently sits in second place in the Frontier, tied with Providence. The Saints close the regular season with home games against Providence and MSU-Northern.
