UCF Knights capture 2nd win at new arena

 
UCF sets a school attendance record in a 78-64 win over visiting Norfolk State.
 
UCF used a hustling defense and some clutch free-throw shooting to hold off Norfolk State 78-64 in front of a school record 5,277 at the new UCF Arena Friday night.

A 13-2 run in the second half run by the Spartans (1-2) shrank a 20-point Knights lead to nine and caused some tension in what looked like a blowout much of the night.

The Knights (2-0) were 6 of 16 from the free-throw line and only up by nine with 5:46 left when Kenrick Zondervan missed the front end of a 1-and-1. A lane violation by the Spartans gave the forward a second chance, which paid off for the Knights as he proceeded to hit two free throws.
