Nick Williams was perfect on field goals, including a pair from 28 yards out and one from 27 yards.

Defensively, Winder had a pair of interceptions for 13 yards, including one that he brought out of the endzone, stopping a Lincoln drive. Richard Jordan Jr. had eight tackles, while Coleman Booker had six stops and an interception.

Jermaine Young Jr. had two sacks, while Kalepo Fiaseu and Maurion Clemons had a sack each. Solomon Garcia and Romel Readus combined for a sack. To read the full press release, please click the link below.

The Missouri Southern men's and women's basketball programs will be part of the 2022 MIAA Basketball Media Day presented by Seigfried Bingham tomorrow morning in Kansas City. The event will take place at the College Basketball Experience in downtown Kansas City. 

The event will be live streamed for free and fans can watch via the link in the story links section above. MIAA Commissioner Mike Racy will kick things off at 9:15 am, while Lions' coaches Ronnie Ressel and Sam McMahon will be on the state at 10:15 am. The complete schedule for Media Day is listed below and can also be found in the story links section above. 

Last season the Southern women were the MIAA regular season Co-Champions and the No. 1 seed in the MIAA Tournament. The Lions had the MIAA Coach of the Year in Ressel and the MIAA Freshman and Player of the Year in Lacy Stokes. Southern advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Southern men are under the direction of first-year head coach Sam McMahon, but McMahon is no stranger to the sidelines at the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center as he was an assistant coach for the Lions previously. 

The women open the season on November 5-6 at the Division II Tipoff Classic in Kansas City at Municipal Auditorium, while the men open up a week later inside Municipal Auditorium in the KC Crossover Challenge.
