STORR HAS HUGE NIGHT REBOUNDING AGAIN AS NORTHEAST MEN’S BASKETBALL IS DOWNED BY IOWA CENTRAL

NORFOLK, Neb. – The Northeast Community College men's basketball team was back in action Wednesday night as Iowa Central Community College traveled to the Cox Activities Center in Norfolk. The Tritons will head home with a 75-66 victory in the showdown.

The Hawks (7-8, 1-4 ICCAC) jumped out to an enormous 15-0 lead to start the game as they looked to take a strong hold of the contest early. It wasn't until there was 5:30 remaining in the first half that the Tritons rallied to even the scoreboard at 30-30. The Hawks trailed by three at halftime but were within striking distance of the Iowa Central lead throughout the second half.

The Tritons shot the ball at a 47.5-percent rate while Northeast only shot 31.6-percent from the field.

STAT SHEET:

Collin Storr (Nassau, Bahamas): 16 PTS, 14 REB, 3 AST

Jared Lopez (Lincoln, Neb.): 11 PTS, 11 REB

Amaire Perkins (Sanford, Fla.): 11 PTS, 3 REB, 3 STL

HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:

Head men's basketball coach Dan Anderson on what he thought went well tonight:

"I liked our effort at times," Anderson said. "I liked that we had 22 offensive boards. I liked that we took some charges, but we surely didn't shoot it well."

What Anderson wants to see heading into their trip to NIAAC this weekend:

"Confidence," Anderson said. "With a few minutes to go there was an outside hope that we could win that thing. We have turned the ball over too much."

UP NEXT:

The Hawks will return to the road to battle North Iowa Area Community College at 3 p.m. Saturday in Mason City, Iowa.
