THOUSAND OAKS (1-25) A hot shooting night from the hosts led to a comeback as Cal Lutheran edged UC Santa Cruz 63-59 in men's basketball.

UC Santa Cruz (8-13) saw their three-game winning streak broken as Cal Lutheran (3-14) went 10-26 (38.5%) from long range for the game, including 7-14 in the second half.

UC Santa Cruz led by two at the half. With Cal Lutheran within 1 at 33-32, the Slugs went on a 9-0 run courtesy of "And-1" plays by Patrick Ramos and Treyson Keating and punctuated by an Eric Siegel three-pointer to take a 42-32 with 13:42 left in the game. Another Siegel three with 12:23 left pushed the lead to 47-34 and forced a Cal Lutheran timeout.

The Kingsmen answered with their own three-point run to take the lead at 61-58 with under a minute left, and Lachlan Hannemann's two free-throws with 8.2 left provided the final margin.
