Northern State too much for Wildcats in 82-72 verdict

Northern State 82 Wayne State 72

            Northern State sophomore forward Parker Fox posted a triple-double with 24 points, 15 rebounds and 10 blocked shots to lead the Wolves in a 82-72 Northern Sun Conference men's basketball win Saturday evening over Wayne State College at Rice Auditorium in Wayne.  WSC falls to 6-15 and 3-9 in the NSIC while NSU is now 14-4 and 10-2 in league games.
            The visiting Wolves used an efficient attack to build a 20-10 lead on the Wildcats 7:30 into the contest.
            A Henry Penner 3-pointer got WSC within eight at 34-26 with 3:26 left in the half, but Northern State closed the half strong and finished with their biggest lead of the half at intermission holding a comfortable 44-28 lead.
            Northern State maintained a sizeable double digit advantage for much of the second half.
            With NSU leading 66-50 at the 7:28 mark, WSC closed the deficit to eight at 66-58 following a layup from Penner with 4:25 to play but that's as close as the Wildcats would get in suffering the 82-72 loss.
            Penner poured in a career-high 17 points for Wayne State, going 6-10 from the field and 5 for 7 from the 3-point line.  Al'Tavius Jackson added 16 points on 8-14 shooting while Jordan Janssen continued his streak of double digit scoring this season with 12 points along with 10 rebounds for his 11th double-double of the year.
            Wayne State was 27-68 shooting for 39.7 percent, going 6-15 from the 3-point line, and 12 of 16 at the free throw line.
            Fox was the story of the game for Northern State with his triple-double of 24 points, 15 rebounds and 10 blocks.  Mason Stark scored 19 points followed by Tommy Chatman with 11 and Andrew Kallman and Cole Dahl 10 each.
            Northern State made 29 of 61 shots for 47.5 percent, including 10-24 from the 3-point line.  The Wolves struggled from the free throw line connecting on just 14 of 26 attempts for 53.8 percent.
            The Wolves held a 47-38 advantage in rebounding over the Wildcats with Janssen's 10 caroms leading WSC.
            Janssen, Nick Ferrarini and Nate Mohr each had three assists while Janssen notched two blocks.
            WSC will be on the road next weekend, playing NSIC South Division games at Minnesota State Friday night at 7:30 p.m. and Concordia-St. Paul Saturday at 5:30 p.m.
