Kurt Stevens led the Hurricanes with 12 while Will added 11. Marian's freethrow shooting was not at its best, as the 'Canes starters connected on only 5-11 charity throws. Marengo, meanwhile, sunk 10 of 15 for 67 percent. Both teams were hurt by in­ juries or illnesses. "Our front line is banged up," Rokus said. "We've had injuries and illnesses to all three of our forwards the last four or five days." Hartlieb, even though star­ ting, is still not at 100 percent, according to Rokus. "Andy has one of the softest touches in the conference and he put some up that almost broke the glass," Rokus said. Marengo, meanwhile, was without the services of Joe Hansen, who has an ankle in­ jury, and Jay Loeffel.
