DAHLONEGA, Ga. -- The Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team was defeated on the road against North Georgia Wednesday evening. The first half was back and forth with GSW matching North Georgia runs for the first 20 minutes. The runs were few and far between, however, as both team's defenses were lights out. The Nighthawks went into the second half leading by just two points.
The second half was a much more high-scoring affair for both teams, but the Nighthawks pulled away after two huge runs early in the second half. The Hurricanes brought it back to within single digits with four minutes to go but could not come any closer as the Nighthawks came away with the 12 point home win.
Lars Nilsen was the team's leading scorer with 14 points. The Hurricanes will look to regroup as they take on 25th ranked Georgia College on Saturday night in the Storm Dome.
