NORFOLK - Lincoln Southwest's break-neck pace and defensive intensity was too much for Norfolk on Friday, as the Silver Hawks cruised to a 79-49 win on Friday.

The Panthers were keeping pace with Southwest for much of the first half, but a 9-0 run by the Silver Hawks, spurred on by their pressure defense, allowed them to pull away.

Lincoln Southwest improves to 4-1 on the year, and beats Norfolk for the eighth consecutive time.
