Minneapolis, Minn. -- The North Central University men's basketball team hosted Northland College (Ashland, Wis.) Saturday afternoon on Senior Night. The Rams were never able to get the offense going and fell to the Jacks by a score of 73-56.

North Central University (11-12, 5-9) finished off their Upper Midwest Athletic Conference schedule with a loss to the Lumberjacks. The Jacks came out firing on all cylinders in the first half and took a 10 point lead into the break, 38-28. 

The Rams opened up the second half by fighting back to get within 5 at the 11:25 mark but that would be as close as they would get. The Jacks would then go on a 9-0 run to push the lead to 59-45 at the 5:35 mark. Northland  made free throws down the stretch and coasted to a 73-56 win over the Rams.

North Central was led by sophomore Luke Chafin (Dayton, Ohio/Troy Christian/Bluffton Univ.) while senior Ben Peters (Fairibult, Minn/Bethany Academy). Chafin finished with 13 points and 4 assists and Peters ended with 12 points and 3 boards.
