The Knights fell short in their second consecutive conference game, falling to Adrian 75-63 Wednesday night at Van Noord Arena. Against the MIAA’s best defensive squad, Calvin shot 35.7% from the field, coupled with a meager 6-20 effort from beyond the 3-point arc. Adrian, on the other hand, was on fire. The Bulldogs made 27 of their 50 field goal attempts and shot a lightning hot 57% from the parabola. Calvin is now locked in a five-way tie for second place with Adrian, Albion, Kalamazoo and Olivet for second place in the MIAA standings. All five teams are 6-5 in league play. Calvin will host Alma on Saturday at 3 p.m.
