An 11-0 Marian College run capped by a Whitney Frame jumper gave the Knights a 20-9 lead with 11:13 to go.

 

The Knights were able to maintain their lead despite committing 15 fouls to Rose-Hulman's five. The Engineers shot 14-for-21 from the free throw line as the Knights maintained a seven-point lead, 36-29, at halftime.

 

The Knights were able to extend their lead to as high as 12, 48-36 with 8:25 to go in the game, and Rose-Hulman could only get to within six, 48-42 with 5:26 to go, before the Knights closed out the game with a 10-5 run to complete the 58-47 victory.

 

Senior Whitney Frame (Lynn, Indiana/Randolph Southern) led three Knights in double figures with a game-high 18 points, had a game-high three assists, and three steals.

Senior Jessica Carr (New Castle, Indiana/New Castle) scored 11 points, had three rebounds, and two steals while junior Megan Egenolf (Plainfield, Indiana/Plainfield) tallied 10 points, handed out three assists, and had four steals for the Knights.

 

The Knights lit the net on fire in the first half after they shot 56 percent (15-for-27) from the field, but cooled down in the second half and shot just 29 percent (8-for-28) in the second frame.

 

The Knights stay on the road when they head to Gary, Indiana, to take on the IU-Northwest RedHawks. Marian defeated IU-NW, 83-53, at home earlier this season. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. (6 p.m. in Gary, Indiana).
