North Park used all the offensive firepower it had as the Vikings went for a season-high output in a 92-79 victory over visiting Adrian College of Michigan in non-conference action Saturday night.

Junior forward Jordan Robinson tallied a game-high 30 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for his third-straight double-double to start the season. Senior Juwan Henry added 27 points on 10 of 18 shooting and Colin Lake finished with 10 points as he knocked down a pair of three-pointers in the second half.

The Vikings overcame a sluggish start to erase a six-point deficit and turn it into a three-point lead at 37-34 at halftime after they closed the final 8:37 of the first half by scoring 19 of the of final 29 points. From there they broke away from a close contest and turned it into a solid performance as they built as much as a 22-point lead in the final 3:50 of the game.

Senior T.J. Cobbs had five steals to go along with eight points and both Henry and Robinson dished three assists each. North Park used a 12-6 offensive rebounding edge to score 15 second chance points while they dominated the inside with 47 points in the paint. DaVonte Harris led Adrian with 29 points as the Bulldogs suffered only their second loss of the season. Marcellous Williams added 13 points off the bench.
