Box Score BELOIT, Wisconsin - The Prairie Fire men's basketball team picked up a 58-47 victory at Beloit on Saturday afternoon.

The Buccaneers jumped out to an early 4-0 lead, but a three pointer by Cade Windham and layup by Sean Gallery gave Knox a 5-4 advantage. Beloit then scored five straight to take a 9-5 lead, but the Prairie Fire finished the first half on an 18-7 run to take a 23-16 lead into halftime.

Knox continued to pull away in the second half, maintaining a double digit lead for most of the rest of the game.

Jordan Rayner led the Prairie Fire with 22 points. Gallery tallied 12 points and Matt Garife added 11 points.

"We played very well today," said head coach Ben Davis. "Beloit has a very good defense and we scored well above the average against them this year. Hopefully we can use this as a jumping off point for the rest of the season."

Knox returns to action on January 17 as they travel to Illinois College.
