ST. CLOUD, Minn. - The St. Cloud State Huskies outscored the Wolves 45-35 in the second half en-route to a 78-62 win over Northern State Saturday evening in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference men's basketball action.  With the decision, SCSU (19-5, 15-5 NSIC) clinches the NSIC North Division title.  With two games left in the regular season, NSU (17-10, 12-8 NSIC) sits in second place in the North.

NSU held a 21-18 lead with 11 minutes left in the first half after Jared Hannigan's second trey of the night, but the Huskies went on an 8-0 run to take a 26-21 lead and never looked back.  The Wolves cut it to one on back-to-back Collin Pryor buckets with 3:33 left in the first, but the Huskies pushed it back to a six-point lead by intermission.

SCSU also used a 19-9 run over an eight-minute stretch through the middle of the second half to extend their lead to double digits, while holding Pryor to just six points in the second stanza.

Pryor ended the night with 20 points, while Hannigan chimed in with a season-high 15.  Senior forward Dustin Tetzlaff finished with five points and eight rebounds and is now just six points shy of the 1,000 point plateau in his collegiate career.

SCSU's Damarius Cruz drilled 6-of-9 three-pointers en-route to a game-high 22 points.  Connor Niehaus and James Fort added 14 and 12, respectively with Fort getting the start in place of an injured Theo Rothstein.

NSU will return home to take on Minot State and U-Mary in the final weekend of the regular season.  The games will be played in the Civic Arena.  Ticket information can be found here.
