Paine stays atop SIAC standings

Augusta, Georgia - After a season-opening loss to city rival Augusta State, Paine has bounced back with a vengeance. Kedric Taylor posted a game-high 17 points Monday night and the Lions fended off Kentucky State down the stretch, 61-57.

Paine extended its winning streak to three games and retained its spot atop the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference standings.

The Lions (3-1) are undefeated in conference play at 3-0 and enjoy a stay in first place, though it’s early – there’s 21 league games remaining. Paine coach Jimmy Link credited his team’s 15-point defeat to the Jaguars for the Lions’ improvement.
