Madonna was able to outscore Marygrove 40-12 in bench points and held a 56-28 advantage in points in the paint.

Isaac Gillum led the Mustangs with 16 points, to go along with four assists and two steals. Nate Taylor contributed 15 points and Diante Taylor added 13 points of his own in the loss. Marygrove trailed 51-36 at the half.

Madonna (13-13, 10-8 WHAC) was led in the scoring column by Khalil Malone, who scored 22 points, and also saw a double-double recorded by Chris Dierker, who tallied 19 points and 19 rebounds.
