Lake Superior State shot 35.7 percent from the field, including 4-of-22 from three-point range, and made 11-of-15 free throws. The Lakers entered the game with one of the GLIAC's top three-point field-goal percentages, but were held to 18.2 percent, which is their second-lowest percentage of the season.

Will Bowles totaled 19 points and nine rebounds, and Wes Wilcox added 17 points and 11 rebounds to lead Northwood.
