Bemidji, Minn. - 

Northland Community & Technical College couldn't get the shots to fall late in a 70-64 non-conference men's basketball loss to National Christian College Athletic Association member Oak Hills Christian College Tuesday night in Bemidji. 

The Pioneers trailed 34-30 at the end of a back-and-forth first half. They went on a 12-8 run to open the second half to tie the game with 14 minutes left in regulation and took their first lead of the half on a pair of free throws by Isaiah Brown. 

The Pioneers held their final lead of the contest with just over 10 minutes left to play. The Wolfpack used an 11-2 run to take a 57-50 lead with 7:05 left to play. The Pioneers clawed their way back to within two of the Wolfpack on several occasions in the waning minutes, with the latest being a 66-64 deficit with 1:24 left to play. The Pioneers failed to score the remainder of the game as the Wolfpack pulled out the win.
