Knights Secure First Conference Win on Martin's Record Night

Cochran, GA - The Knights were back in action on their home court on Wednesday, January 17th as they hosted the Running Eagles of Life University. The Knights previously lost to the Running Eagles on November 30th and were looking to pick up their first conference win. The game would start off slow for both teams as neither team would score a point until a Brice Martin free throw with 17:45 remaining in the first half. The Knights and Running Eagles would trade the lead a number of times until the Knights would go on a 9-0 run to give them a 16-8 lead with 12:51 remaining in the half. The Running Eagles would come back to tie the game at 18-18 as the game would remain close throughout the first half with the Knights edging ahead 37-32. The Knights would continue to stay hot in the second half as they would pull away to a 46-37 lead with 15:39 remaining in the game but the Running Eagles would cut the lead down to three points. The Knights would catch fire again as they would get out an 11 point lead with 10:51 remaining in the game. The Running Eagles would make it an interesting game down the stretch but the Knights would hold on for a 73-66 victory. Brice Martin led the Knights with 22 points and 16 rebounds while setting a new single game record for blocks with eight. Jayce Moore also had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. The Knights will look to carry their momentum into the next game as they take on the Eagles of Faulkner University on Saturday, January 20th. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 PM CST.
