Marian made 80 percent of its second-half field goals, with junior Chuck Hartlieb scoring 14 points in the half to boost his team. "I thought we had good shot selection, got the ball inside well, and got some good offensive rebounds," Rokus said of his team's second-half spurt. "The patterns were nice and the ball went through." Marian's defense was also a key as they held St. Edward's Steve Lundy, who scored 14 points in the first half, to just two in the second. The Green Wave opened a 5-0 lead in the early going with a field goal and a three-point play by Lundy, but the Hurricanes' Mark Thompson came right back with a three-point play of his own to put Marian on the board and close behind the Wave.
