NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Trey Williams scored 16 points and sparked a second-half rally to lead Lipscomb to a 70-60 win Friday night over Belmont in the A-Sun/CSS Game of the Week. WIth the win, the Bisons sweep the regular season Battle of the Boulevard from the Bruins.
Host Lipscomb (15-10, 9-5 Atlantic Sun) went on a 17-1 run in the second half, turning a one-point lead into a 58-41 advantage with 5:05 left. Williams scored seven of the 17 points.
