With 2:06 left in the half, a long-range three from Tanner Lamb put the Firebirds ahead 32-30.

The Firebirds could not find a bucket to close the gap as Carroll (Wis.) went on to win 72-66.

Julian Campbell led the Firebirds with 16 points and added five rebounds. The 16 points marked the sixth time Campbell had 10 points or more this season.

"Tough to win games on the road in the CCIW. Give Carroll all the credit in the world. They out-toughed us, outplayed us, out-executed us, and deserved to win the basketball game. We've prided ourselves all year on sharing the basketball and scoring at a high percentage. You won't win many games shooting 27% from three and 42% from the foul line. It doesn't get any easier as we have preseason favorites Illinois Wesleyan coming in on Saturday. We need to regroup and have two good days of practice!"
