DE PERE, Wis. - D.J. DeValk and Tim Marshall had 18 points each as No. 7 St. Norbert College advanced to the round of 16 with a 63-61 win over the St. Olaf men's basketball team in the second round of the NCAA Division III Championship on Saturday night at Schuldes Sports Center. The Oles' Ben Figini led all scorers with 21 points to go with 12 rebounds. 

Austin Majeskie added a season-best 19 points for the Oles (19-10), who closed the SNC lead to one six times in the second half. Majeskie hit a three-pointer in the corner, his third of the night, with 22 seconds left to cut the Green Knights' lead to 59-58. DeValk then hit two free throws and the Oles' Riley Aeikens misfired on a potential game-tying three. 

Dakota Oskey added 10 points for St. Norbert (25-2) on 5-of-6 shooting in 12 minutes off the bench. The Green Knights will play Alma in the third round. 

St. Norbert held a 10-point advantage late in the first half before the Oles used a 10-4 run to close the SNC lead to four at the break.

Aeikens had eight points and became the 21st player in school history to reach 1,000 for his career. Justin Pahl reached the feat earlier in the season and Figini came within seven in just two seasons at St. Olaf.

St. Olaf was making its third straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The 2014 team made the first appearance in school history before the 2015 team advanced to the round of 16.
