Northeastern Tops Delaware


The success for Northeastern against Delaware continues, as the Huskies traveled into Newark and came out on top 67-47.

It was another early spurt that helped in the victory, as Northeastern jumped out to an early 23-8 lead. But the Blue Hens had a run of their own, closing the half on a 14-2 run to make the score at halftime 32-25.

In the second half the Huskies were just too much for the Blue Hens, especially in the post. Nkem Ojougboh scored 12 points to go along with 9 rebounds, while Manny Adako did his part with 10 points and 8 rebounds of his own. The Husky backcourt was strong as well, with Matt Janning, Chaisson Allen, and Eugene Spates scoring 12, 10, and 9 points, respectively.

The 6-0 start in conference play can simply be attributed to the six straight games now that the Huskies have held their opponent to under 40 percent shooting. This time, Delaware shot 30.9 percent.
