GEORGETOWN, Ky. – No. 25 Life University (18-8, 6-4 MSC) upset No. 10 Georgetown (21-4, 6-4 MSC) 87-75 on Saturday, completing the season sweep.

"I am really proud of how our guys approached this very important road stretch," Head Coach Keith Adkins said. "To keep pace with the top of this conference, we had to have these last two games. Winning today, on the road against a Top 10 team, was a huge momentum builder. Once again, give our guys all of the credit. Now we will see if we can carry that into the next two weeks, where we end the regular season with four straight home games. With each game coming up, there will be more at stake with each one." 

Four Running Eagles finished in double digits in the win. Junior Jay Johnson paced the squad with 18 points as well as seven rebounds and a steal. Both Senior Undra Mitchem and junior David Scott put up 15 points, with Mitchem adding five rebounds, two steals and an assist and Scott adding three rebounds and two assists. Senior Zach Landis also had an impressive line with 20 rebounds, four points and two assists.
 
Life U never trailed in the game and opened on a 7-2 run. They went up double digits at 17-7 with just over 11 minutes left in the period. The Running Eagles went by their largest lead of the half at 40-15 with just over two minutes left in the half. They took a 40-24 lead into the break.
 
After the intermission, it was more of the same from the first half. However, The Tigers attempted to mount a late comeback and trimmed the lead to 10 at 84-74 with 18 seconds left, but it was too little too late as Life U came away with a 87-75 victory.
 
The Running Eagles will return home to face off against Cumberland on Thursday, Feb. 15.
