CHICAGO, Ill. – The North Park men's basketball team was on the losing side of 91-60 battle with Augustana College on Saturday night. It was a sour finish to a night that started with the recognition of senior Izaiah Sanders, Anthony Diaz, Jonathan Johansson, Noa Bolmenas, and Michael Curtin.

The offenses were slow out the gate as the score went no higher than 2-2 in the first four minutes. With 12:25 to go in the first, Johansson hit a three in the corner to give NPU the lead. A basket in response by Augie would ignite an offensive explosion from the visitors, including shooting 53% from the field in the contest and 52% from three-point land. This led to the hefty runs from Augustana, and which ended up winning them the game by 31.

Quick Hits:

• Sanders had 12, while Jalen Boyd had 16.
• Gabe Johnson led NPU with six boards.

What's Next?

North Park (8-11, 3-8 CCIW) will clash in a rescheduled match with No. 10 Illinois Wesleyan (16-4, 9-2 CCIW) on Monday, February 7^th. That game will tipoff at the Shirk Center at 7 PM.
