Sherwin Durham scored 22 points Tuesday night to lead Southern California College to a 89-70 win over visiting Cal Lutheran at Costa Mesa.

Forward Dave Lareva had a perfect nine out of nine field goal attempts and finished with 20 points to lead Cal Lutheran, which fell to 3-9 in the NAIA Division III Northern Division.
