Quincy, Ill. - Cristen Wilson's (Cleveland, Ohio, John Hay) tip-in with 54 seconds remaining proved to be the difference as the Lewis University men's basketball team picked up the 65-63 win over Cedarville in the opening day of Quincy's QU Subway Holiday Classic at the Pepsi Arena on Saturday (Dec. 17).

Senior guard Miles Simelton (Oswego, Ill./Oswego) topped the Flyers with 13 points, while senior guard Capel Henshaw (Harrisburg, Ill./Harrisburg) contributed 11 points off of the bench.

The victory extends Lewis' winning streak to four games and moves them to 6-4 on the campaign, while Cedarville falls to 5-5 on the season.

Lewis shot 45.2% (28-for-62) from the field, while the Yellow Jackets converted 39% (23-for-59) of their attempts. The Flyers held a 39-33 advantage over Cedarville in rebounds.
