Thief River Falls, MN -
The Northland men's basketball team dropped a 115-72 decision to fifth-ranked Minnesota North College - Rainy River Saturday in the Northland gym. The Pioneers kept pace with the Voyageurs early on and held an 8-6 lead with 16:54 remaining in the first half. The Voyageurs answered with a quick 9-0 run that put them up by seven just one minute later.
The Pioneers answered with a 7-0 run of their own to tie that game at 15-15 with 14:21 left in the half.
The wide-open game pace favored the fullcourt-pressing Voyageurs, however, and they proceeded to take control of the game by out-scoring the Pioneers 53-23 over the final 14 minutes of the half.
The Pioneers were unable to make much of a dent in the Voyageur's lead in the second half. The Voyageurs led by at least 25 points and they eventually pushed the final margin to 43 points.
Saturday's 72-point total ties a season high in a loss for the Pioneers, while the 115 points scored by the Voyageurs is the most allowed in a loss for the Pioneers.
Northland fell to 2-14 overall and 0-3 in MCAC North play. MNC-Rainy River improved to 14-1 overall and 3-0 in MCAC North play.
