Marquette, MI – January 3, 2019 – The Marquette Redmen basketball team toppled the Kingsford Flivvers with a 67-49 win at home on Fox Sports Marquette 105.1-99.9 and 103 FXD.

The Redmen started 2019 with a bang tonight. Their victory over Kingsford puts them in first place in the Great Northern Conference with a 3-0 GNC record, 7-2 overall. Marquette couldn’t look any stronger as they enter the second half of their 2018-2019 season.

The Flivvers had a hard time against the Redmen tonight.

The Redmen took the lead early in the first period. The Flivvers put up a fight, but Marquette cultivated a 10 point lead for a score of 17-7 at the buzzer.

Marius Grazulis racked up the points early in the game, with 14 points at the half.

It wasn’t just Grazulis with a high-scoring game. Bryce Brazeau had 10 points and John Thomson had 8 in the first half. The Redmen went into the 3rd period with a 34-15 lead over the Flivvers.

The second half was just as dominant as the first. The only hiccup of the night came as Grazulis got into a little foul trouble with four fouls toward the end of the game. The Redmen weren’t phased, however, and the tidy 67-49 win was never truly in jeopardy.

Grazulis had a whopping 29 points overall. Brazeau and Thomson improved to 16 and 14 points overall respectively.
