Lawrence 72, St. Norbert 48

DE PERE, Wis. — The No. 14 Lawrence University men's basketball team wrapped up its second consecutive MIdwest Conference title, and Jason Holinbeck topped the 1,000-point mark for his career in a 72-48 MWC win Saturday at St. Norbert College.

Holinbeck scored a game-high 19 points and now has 1,009 for his career. Holinbeck is the 18th player in school history to score 1,000.

The win gave Lawrence (17-4, 12-3 MWC), which had a clinched a share of the title on Wednesday, the championship outright for the second straight year. Lawrence will host the MWC Tournament on Feb. 25-26, but the res t of the four-team field is yet to be determined.

Brandon Hansen and Aaron Faulkner scored 11 points apiece to lead St. Norbert (8-14, 5-10).

The Vikings wasted little time regaining control in the second half. Lawrence went on an 13-5 run to open the second half for a 45-30 lead. St. Norbert never got closer than 13 points after that.
