Maupin, Williams, Soule star for Carroll in CCIW road battle that featured 10 lead changes and 13 ties

ELMHURST, Ill. - Senior forward Kale Maupin finished with a game-high 19 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals but it wasn't enough as the Carroll University men's basketball team lost to No. 23-ranked Elmhurst College 62-59 in a College Conference of Illinois-Wisconsin showdown at R.A. Faganel Hall on Wednesday night.
It was the second consecutive loss to a nationally-ranked conference opponent for Carroll, which dropped to 4-11 in the league standings and 11-13 overall.
Eight of the Pioneers' conference losses have come by four points or less this season.
The neck-and-neck battle between fierce league rivals, which featured 10 lead changes and 13 ties, remained tied 29-29 at the intermission.
Elmhurst responded by outscoring Carroll 33-30 over the course of the final 20 minutes.
Tied 48-48 with 4:41 remaining, Elmhurst answered by scoring five straight points over a critical one-minute stretch - ignited by a momentum-shifting 3-pointer from the right, top portion of the perimeter by senior forward Derek Dotlich.
Carroll trimmed the deficit to three points three times within the final three minutes but couldn't complete the comeback, including a jump shot by Maupin to cut the lead to 53-50 with 2:44 left.
