Knights Fall to Florida Memorial in a Neutral Court Matchup

Adrian, Mich. - The Marian women's basketball team fell 60-69 on the road Monday evening. The Knights are now 10-3 overall on the season and 4-0 in the Crossroads League.

Marian struck first with a layup followed by a three from Taylor Double to take the 5-0 lead in the first two minutes of play. Florida Memorial struck back with the same baskets to tie the game 5-5 less than a minute later. The Knights and Tigers continued to swap baskets with Abbey McNally securing two layups and Kenna Kirby and Olivia Faust each shooting one, before Florida Memorial went on a hot streak to take the 16-15 lead with 2:23 remaining in the quarter. McNally tried to chip away at the margin with a layup but was quickly followed up by the Lions to bring the score 18-17 going into the second quarter.

Eva Fisher was first to strike in the second quarter with a layup but was quickly followed up with four free throws from the Lions to extend their lead 22-19. Florida Memorial continued to outscore Marian with Emily Grim only able to put up a pair of free throws on the board compared to the trio of three pointers by the Lions to bring the score 33-21 at the halfway mark of the quarter. Taylor Double's three and Kenna Gray's layup were the only marks the Knights were able to put up for the rest of the quarter to extend Florida Memorial's lead 41-26 going into the half.

Marian pulled it together coming out of halftime outscoring the Lions 19-9 in the third quarter. Double was the first to strike with a jumper that was followed up by a pair of layups from Madisyn Bailey and Kirby to decrease the margin down to single digits with the score 41-32. The Lions fired back with a three pointer but came up short with McNally's pair of layups and Doubles free throw. Florida Memorial and Marian traded points once more with McNally shooting a layup for the Knights bringing the score 47-39 in favor of the Lions with 3:57 remaining in the quarter. Double and Kirby continued to tack off points with a free throw from Taylor and a layup from Kenna to bring the margin down to five with three minutes remaining in the quarter. Kennedy Fuelling shot a three to cap off the Knights points for the third quarter but was leveled by a trio of free throws from the Lions to bring the score 50-45 going into the last quarter. 

Florida Memorial was the first to strike in the final quarter with a layup and a tip-in but Bailey was able to follow it up with a layup. Both sides of the court traded points with Kirby shooting two jumpers and McNally shooting a layup to bring the score 56-53 but the Lions were able to fire back with a pair of layups. Marian continued to push with Fisher shooting a free throw and McNally shooting a layup but were sadly leveled out by a Lions three pointer. Florida Memorial were able to come back with the win with the Knights coming up nine points to short with the ending score carding at 60-69. 

Abbey McNally led the team in points and rebounds with 18 points and eight rebounds in the game. Taylor Double was close behind with 14 points and five rebounds while Kenna Kirby has 10 points and three rebounds. From the line Emily Grim went 2-2 on free throws.
