DULUTH, MN – An offensive outage by the visiting University of Mary men's basketball team in the final minutes of the game allowed the University of Minnesota Duluth to overtake the Marauders down the stretch for a 67-60 Bulldogs win.

After a solid effort shooting the ball in the opening half, the Marauders missed their final six shots of the night and committed one turnover. UMD also out-rebounded UMary 8-1 in the final three minutes.
 
Freshman Wyatt Carr led the Marauders in scoring with 12 points, coming off the bench to drain four treys in seven attempts. He also had four assists. Keith Hunter added nine points, six rebounds and four assists. Jaylen White chipped in seven points and a career-best eight assists. Michael Gorder and Zacher both had eight points.
 
Jake Wilson led UMD with 24 points. Brandon Myer added 16 points and nine rebounds.
 
UMary (5-19 overall, 3-17 NSIC) shot 42 percent from the field, boosted by a 11-for-26 effort behind the arc. The Marauders were 3-for-4 at the free throw line. UMD (11-15, 7-13) made 52 percent of its shots and finished 12-for-20 on free throws.
