GAMES 7-8: WLC/ROCKFORD
THE KEY TO VICTORY
Marian is 3-0 this season when outrebounding its opponents and holds a +5.0 margin on
the year. In those wins, the Sabres are +48 on the glass combined compared to -18 on the
short-end. Last season, the Sabres went 10-3 when outrebounding their opponents and
finished the year with a -0.7 rebound margin.
GRAND OPENING
Marian snapped a five-game losing streak in conference openers and a three-game skid
in conference home openers when it defeated Dominican University, 71-63, Saturday, Nov.
30. The previous 1-0 start in league play occurred back on Nov. 28, 2007 when the Sabres
went to River Forest and beat Concordia Chicago, 70-66.
The most recent win in a conference home opener was back on Dec. 5, 2009 when the
Sabres beat Dominican, 81-68, behind 31 points from Logan Rankin (‘10).
RACE TO 1K
Seniors Cody Veleke (984) and Jeff Harris (975) are within nine career points of each
other entering Thursday’s meeting against Wisconsin Lutheran. Should they stay within
their career averages of 11.9 and 12.2, respectively, then there could be the rarity of both
players eclipsing 1,000 points during Saturday’s game at Rockford.
FOR THE 41ST TIME
Marian University men’s basketball opened its 41st season in program history when it
defeated Martin Luther College by a score of 79-70 back on Nov. 16. Men’s basketball
played its first season at Marian back in 1972-73.
WHAT IT REALLY “BOYLES” DOWN TO
Head Coach Mark Boyle, who is in his 26th season at the helm of the Marian University
men’s basketball program, has compiled 327 career victories and captured four conference
championships on the Sabre sidelines.
The Madison native took over the program for his first season in 1988-89 and led the
team to a Lake Michigan Conference tournament championship. He arrived in Fond du
Lac by way of UW-Green Bay, where he served as assistant under legendary coach Dick
Bennett for three seasons. Boyle graduated from UW-Eau Claire.
Boyle is currently the longest-tenured college coach in the state of Wisconsin.

COMING BACK FOR MORE
The Sabres feature 12 returners from their 2012-13 squad that finished 15-11 overall, 10-6 in
the NACC, which was good enough for the fifth-best league mark. Five seniors highlight the
slew of returners, including captains Sam Koslowski and 2012-13 First Team selection
Cody Veleke.
The entire projected starting lineup remains intact with a mix of youth and veteran
leadership. Sophomores Alex Stecker and Drew Binversie made immediate impacts as
freshmen last season, while junior Mike Keller is coming off his second straight season
7 as a defensive backbone in the starting lineup for the Sabres.
7 Three seniors in James Bartelt, Jeff Harris and Elan Solvik will lead a talented
bench that could emerge as one of the deepest in the NACC.
