CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Lewis-Clark State men’s and women’s basketball teams have been selected as the Under Armour Teams of the Week for February 15-21, the Cascade Collegiate Conference announced Sunday.
Competing in the revised CCC Conference Tournament, presented by U.S. Bank, as a three-game series, the Warriors defeated the College of Idaho two games to none to win the 2020-21 Tournament Championship.

In the women’s games, LC State defeated the Yotes 56-40 on Thursday at home and again on Sunday in Caldwell, Idaho, by a score of 97-66. The men won a hard-fought battle in Lewiston, Idaho, also on Thursday as part of a double-header 74-71 and led nearly wire-to-wire Sunday in Caldwell, winning 80-71.
