Cougars drop UMAC opener to Northland

ASHLAND, Wis. - Minnesota Morris' three game winning streak came to an end Saturday night as the Cougar men dropped their UMAC opener at Northland 81-67.

CD Douglas followed up his 32-point performance Friday night at Finlandia with 29 more points against the Lumberjacks to go along with 12 rebounds. Tyler Ukkelberg scored 15 while Noah Grove added 11.

Minnesota Morris did race out to an early double-digit lead. An Ukkelberg lay-in gave the Cougars a 12-2 edge 5:30 into the contest. Northland came back to tie it at 27 before the Cougars answered with six straight. The Cougars would lead 35-32 at halftime.

Three-point shooting was the difference in the second half as Northland made nine from beyond the arc while the Cougars connected on only two. The Lumberjacks outscored the Cougars 49-32 in the second half.

Minnesota Morris (4-3, 0-1 in UMAC) starts a seven-game homestand Tuesday against Mayville State at 7:30 p.m. at Jim Gremmels Court.
