CONCORD, N.C. — Gavin Faure scored a game-high 27 points, and Lighthouse Christian College defeated Barber-Scotia College 81-75 in men’s college basketball action Sunday.

The Sabers led most of the game, but late mistakes proved costly and allowed the Makos to capture the lead and hang on for their first win of the season.

Faure led a balanced Lighthouse (1-1) attack that featured four players scoring in double figures with Cano Gray adding 18 points and Nick Penn finishing with 11.

Barber-Scotia (0-5) was led by Marri Wells with 25 points. Zelden Chukes and Marcus Calhoun added 14 points apiece while Demariel Smith contributed 10.

The win came one day after Lighthouse suffered a 95-67 loss to South Carolina Central. The Makos wrap up their early-season barnstorming tour Monday at Denmark Tech.
