MILWAUKEE - Tanner Schieve (Slinger, Wis./Slinger) beat the buzzer again with a half-court shot as time expired to lead the Wisconsin Lutheran College men's basketball team to a key 73-70 NACC victory over MSOE on Wednesday night at the Kern Center. The game-winning heave is the second in as many games for the Warriors' junior guard.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The game got off to a shaky start for the Warriors as MSOE started the game on a 7-0 run before Jake Jarnigo (Lake Mills, Wis./Lakeside Lutheran) put WLC on the board.
• WLC gained its first lead of the game at 21-20 with a Schieve lay-up with 6:11 remaining in the opening half.

• The second half remained tight, but Wisconsin Lutheran grabbed the lead 46-44 after a Collin Kennedy (Holmen, Wis./Luther) lay-in with 14:03 remaining in regulation. 
• The Warriors trailed by as many as six points early in the second half.
• In a neck-and-neck game that featured 14 ties and nine lead changes, Marose's free throw tied the score at 70-70 with :14 seconds remaining.
