The Lancers took on the St. Joseph Benton Cardinals, last year’s Missouri state runner-up, in their first game of the season, on Dec. 5. The theme for the game was blue out. At the end of the first quarter the Lancers trailed the Cardinals 17-10. At half-time the Lancers were still down 27-20. The second half started with senior Pearson Konold scoring five points, but the Lancers were still down 43-28. The Lancers would score 11 points in the fourth quarter to go up to 39 points, but that would fail to surpass the Cardinals 58 points.
