Smith finished with ten points, 11 rebounds, and ten blocks on the day, tying Steve Haneks school record for blocks in the process.
Sophomore guards Daishon Robinson and Martell Medley (6'1''-G) led the way offensively with 19 and 17 points, respectively, while classmates Charles Oliver and Chaz Rollins added 14 apiece. Lakeland (6-3) shot 58% from the floor and was six of ten from beyond the arc.
