MADISON, Wis. – Marian College (4-11, 2-1 LMC) snapped a seven-game losing streak on Wednesday with a 65-53 win over Edgewood College (9-6, 3-1 LMC) from the Todd Wehr Edgedome.

The Sabres shot 57.1 percent from the field, while Edgewood struggled to find its groove on its home court. The Eagles were cold from long distance, going 2-of-13 from three-point range after missing all seven of their first-half attempts from beyond the arc.

Edgewood trailed 28-27 at halftime, but quickly regained a modest lead early into the second half. However, a three pointer by the Sabres’ Jordan Van Ess with 16:58 remaining sparked a 14-0 run by Marian, in which the squad connected on six straight baskets without a miss.

The Eagles shot just 42.6 percent (20-of-47) from the field. Junior Seth Cooper* (Madison, Wis.) led the team with 15 points after being held to just six points in the first half. Cooper also finished with a game-high six assists. Senior Greg Blaska (DeForest, Wis.) registered 13 points, on 6-of-9 shooting, and eight rebounds. Freshman Charlie Averkamp (New Berlin, Wis.) posted 12 points and seven boards.

Titus Redmond paced Marian with a game-high 19 points, followed by Casey Wuest and David Whitenack who added 13 and 10 points, respectively. Marian converted on 16 second-chance points after out-rebounding the Eagles 11-7 on the offensive glass. Defensively, Nick Vogt tallied five of Marian’s nine steals.

Edgewood College will return to the hardwood this Saturday, Jan. 15, when they travel to Concordia University (5-10, 3-1 LMC). Tip-off versus the Falcons is scheduled 7:15 p.m. in Mequon, Wis.
