APPLETON, Wis. -- The Lawrence University men's basketball team couldn't convert on a few key possessions in the final minute Tuesday, and Lake Forest College pulled away for an 80-73 Midwest Conference victory at Alexander Gymnasium.
    Lake Forest outscored the Vikings 13-5 over the final 2:44 to pick up the victory. 
    Casey Schoenecker posted a double-double for the Vikings with a team-best 17 points to go with a game-high 12 rebounds. Nicholas Gouriotis added 14 points and three rebounds for Lawrence (5-18, 3-11 MWC). 
    Lawrence's Jake Fisher went 4-for-7 from the floor, including 2-for-3 from beyond the arc, on his way to 13 points, and he handed out a game-high nine assists. Nicolas Manzanera came off the bench for the Vikings to hit 4-of-6 shots from 3-point range on his way to 12 points.
    Lawrence led by as many as six points early in the second half at 42-36, but Lake Forest (8-14, 6-7) rallied and pulled out to a 62-54 lead midway through the half.
    The Vikings were still down seven when they rallied to tie the game. Schoenecker started the run with a layup, and Fisher then buried a 3-pointer. Fisher later converted two free throws to tie the game at 68-68 with 3:45 left. 
    After Zach Foster's floater gave Lake Forest a 70-68 lead, Lawrence missed a shot and Alex Knight made a pair of free throws for a 72-68 edge. Lawrence got two baskets from Schoenecker over the next minute to keep the deficit at two points.
