KENOSHA, Wis. – Roosevelt's off night on the 3-point arc helped UIS to an 88-56 win over the Lakers on Friday on the first day of the GLIAC-GLVC Crossover in Kenosha, Wis.

The Lakers (0-1) shot a respectable 43 percent from the field in the game, but made just two of their 12 attempts from behind the arc. Meanwhile, UIS sank 14 of 24 from 3-point range, including 7 of 10 in the first half, to build its lead.

Roosevelt had a tough start with Jalen Windham's jumper being the only points in an early 9-2 deficit less than three minutes into the game. The Prairie Stars extended their lead out to 10-points with 12:47 left in the half, but didn't score another field goal for five minutes. The Lakers went on a 12-2 run in that span, including a Windham three-point play that gave Roosevelt a one-point lead.

However, UIS sank four 3-pointers during an 18-2 run that set the table for the Prairie Stars to lead by 17 at halftime. The Lakers could only close the deficit to 16 over the final 20 minutes while outscoring UIS 20-14 in the paint in the second half and limiting the Prairie Stars to just two second-chance points.

Windham scored 19 points to lead the Lakers, hitting 8 of 16 from the floor. Kaleim Taylor made all three of his shots in the second half to score eight of his 12 points in the final 20 minutes. Davon Smith-Johnson and Dante Sawyer both chipped in nine points while Smith-Johnson also added a pair of blocks. Taylor and Griffin Yaklich grabbed five rebounds each as the Lakers were outrebounded 45-28 on the glass.

UP NEXT: The Lakers will face Upper Iowa on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. back at Parkside for the second game of the crossover.
