Record Setting Day Leads Firebirds Past Panthers 138-125

KENOSHA, Wis. — The Carthage College men's basketball team picked up their fourth win on the season with a 138-125 victory over Greenville Tuesday evening at Tarble Arena. 

Carthage (4-1) began the game with a 12-9 lead over Greenville (1-5) with a layup from Tyler Guest. A layup at the 13:59 mark by Anthony Bernero put the Firebirds up six. The home team then put together a 22-10 run moving the score to 42-24 off a Guest jumper. The Panthers slowly chipped away at the lead as a layup cut it to 48-46 with 4:36 left in the half. The home team retaliated closing out the half with a 23-2 run to head into halftime up 71-50. 

In the second half, Fillip Bulatovic connected on a layup which put Carthage ahead 86-59. Later, the Panthers made it a 13-point game off a fast break layup with 7:08 remaining. Though the visitors got within 11 with under two minutes remaining, the Firebirds took the victory 138-125 with two final free throws by Tanner Lamb.
