Northeast men fall to No. 4 Indian Hills on the road

OTTUMWA, Iowa – It wasn't what the Northeast Community College men's basketball team had in mind on Saturday night.

Merrix Denn (Osmond, Neb.) led the Hawks with 20 points, including six 3-pointers. Daniel Akuei (Melbourne, Australia) tallied nine points and six rebounds. Michael Anderson (Lincoln, Neb.) had seven points and five assists.
