In a first half that saw 13 lead changes, it was Chris Hebeler who ultimately put his stamp on the first 20 minutes, netting 22 points. The Scots trailed 36-31 when Hebeler had a particularly memorable stretch, mixing two treys and two fadeaway jumpers with three-pointers from Blaise Rogers and Anthony Beaird. Loyd Bowen capped the half with two free throws to give the Scots a 50-42 lead.
In the second half, Beaird's sixth three-pointer of the game started a 9-0 run, which also included a great touch pass from Travis Miller to Jason Murren. Tucker Blaser scored inside for a 71-52 lead, forcing a Carroll timeout. From the field, the Scots only got a Joe Terwelp tip-in the rest of the way, but they made 14-of-20 free throws to keep Carroll at bay.
Hebeler finished with 27 points and Beaird had 19 to lead Monmouth, which improved to 4-4 in the Midwest Conference and 7-7 overall, and Miller and Blaser each had eight rebounds and combined for 26 points.
Ben Hickethier and Paul Toshner had 14 points apiece for Carroll.
