After a long 5 game road stretch the Freshman Redhawks played at home on Tuesday against Portage Central.

From the start this game was destined to be a battle and one of the toughest games for the young Redhawks this season.  Marshall was down at the end of the 1^st Quarter 7-10 but able to battle back in the 2^nd to take a 1 point lead 17-16 into the half. The 3^rd quarter saw a lot more physical play with Portage Central pulling away to a  25-27 lead. The 4^th quarter quickly became a game of “Who Wants it More” as the level of defense and pressure were increased by both teams. Marshall was able to get several key turnovers down the stretch and hit several important baskets and free throws that allowed them to take the late lead and hold on for the 33-30 VICTORY.

Jack Beattie 10 pts, Lucas Niemann 6 pts, Joe Grinston, Cooper Houseman and Matt Ryan 5 pts, Eli Warner 2 pts.

Overall Record 17-0 and I8 conference record 9-0
