Jeff deLaveaga and Mike Demeter combined for 55 points for Cal Lutheran, but once again it wasn’t enough as Cal State Stanislaus defeated the Kingsmen, 99-86, Friday in a nonconference game at Cal Lutheran.

The loss was the 13th without a victory for Cal Lutheran.

The lead grew to 16 points with two minutes left before deLaveaga connected on consecutive three-point shots to cut the lead to 10. But the Kingsmen allowed Shawn Graham to score off two offensive rebounds to seal the victory.
