The Knights secured a 21:13 victory over the Horned Frogs in Saturday night's regular-season matchup, played at 19:30 on September 26th, 2026. By then, both sides had already logged three games each, setting the stage for a contest that would separate the winners from the runners-up in the standings.
Knights came into this fixture on mixed footing. Their previous three results told a story of highs and lows — a 73:6 demolition of the Wildcats, a narrow 7:12 defeat to the Panthers, followed by a 44:30 win over those same Panthers. And here's the thing, consistency had been elusive for them.
Horned Frogs arrived with momentum. Three straight victories — 63:7 against the Tigers, 31:7 over the Red Wolves, and a 10:15 loss to the Tar Heels in August — suggested a side finding its rhythm. They had opened talks about their season prospects, but this game would test whether that form could hold under pressure.
The final scoreline reflected a tight contest. Twenty-one points to thirteen — not a runaway, but enough to separate the teams. The Horned Frogs had kept the game within reach, yet could not find a way through when it mattered most.
For the Knights, this result meant building on their earlier win over the Panthers. Three points secured, and the table shifted accordingly. The regular season continues, and both teams now look ahead to their next fixtures.
