TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology men's basketball team won their fourth consecutive game on Wednesday night as they closed out the regular season with a 101-78 victory over Earlham.

The Quakers were able to cut the lead to single digits at 66-57 with 11 minutes to go, but the Fightin' Engineers answered with a 14-0 run in the next three minutes to stretch the lead to 23.
