Stat of the Game
Six Northern players scored in double digits on the night, led by senior guard Charles Porter who scored 21 points on 8-of-12 shots from the field.  

Turning Point
After being down by six points in the second half, Porter tied the game with eight seconds left in regulation after converting a three-point play.  RMC was unable to score in the winding seconds, sending the game into overtime.  In the final stanza, the Lights got a huge three-point bucket from junior forward Justin Dunsmore to take a four-point lead (93-89) with 26 seconds left.  Northern finished out the game hitting 6-6 from the charity strip to secure the win.
