Asbury's second half defense held Kuyper to only 31 points after giving up 46 in the first, moving AU to 6-0 at home in the Luce Center on the year.
"It felt great to come out and cap off a three game home stand against three very good teams. Everyone on the team contributed and the coaches gave us a great game plan. Very good team win all around and we are looking forward to getting back at it on Tuesday."
