FOUR IN DOUBLE FIGURES FOR NORTHEAST MEN’S BASKETBALL AS THEY SECURE ANOTHER VICTORY

NORFOLK, Neb. – The Northeast Community College men's basketball team welcomed Concordia University JV to the Cox Activities Center Monday night. The Hawks ultimately topped the Bulldogs by a final score of 88-83.

The Hawks (5-3) saw four different players eclipse the 10-point mark as Emaniel Alexandre (Nassau, Bahamas), Bryan Rolle (Nassau, Bahamas), Collin Storr (Nassau, Bahamas) and Ben Hammond (Norfolk, Neb.) all were double-digit scorers Monday night.

Northeast was up 49-38 at halftime but had to starve off a late Bulldogs rally that cut the lead to 84-80 with 1:17 left. Rolle and Alexandre each made a pair of free throws to seal the victory for the Hawks.

HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:

Assistant coach Junior Denis on the high number of tight contests the Hawks have had this year:

"We've had some close games in part because we have a lot of guys hurt," Denis said. "We've had to play some of the freshmen, which is good because we can get them ready for the bigger games. These close games will help us down the road."

UP NEXT:

The Hawks will go on the road to battle No. 8 Kirkwood Community College at 3 p.m. Saturday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
