The Knights came out with another big run to create some seperation but the full court press kept the Timberwolves in the game. The Knights were led by their starting backcouty BJ Jenkins and Jaylon Calvin. Jenkins hit critical 3's to hault Adirondack's run and keep the Knights ahead. Calvin kept the Knights balance posting a triple double (13 points,14 rebounds and 12 assist). The Knights had crucial stops down the stretch to hold on to a 3 point victory.

Coach Hughes Statement
I think we showed a lot of toughness and a lot of grit. We faced adversity multiple times during the course of the game and we responded everytime. We obviously have some things we have to clean up, but the good thing is we found a way to win. This feels good but we have a tough Villa Maria team coming in Thursday, so we have to be ready.
The Knights will host Villa Maria College Thursday @ 6.
