The Blue and White eyed their first victory inside the R. John Buuck fieldhouse with a three-point lead heading into the final frame.

The Green Knights pulled away from the Falcon in the second half with a final score of 74-64.

The flock was led by both Karsten and senior Freeman Jackson (Green Bay, Wis.) with 15 points. 

Karsten added five rebounds and two steals and Jackson added two rebounds.

Senior Gabe Pruss (North Fond Du Lac, Wis.) brought in 11 boards and was just two points shy of a double-double with eight. Senior Jared Jurss (Sheboygan, Wis.) led the Falcons with 11 assists.
