Box Score With four players scoring in double figures, Northeastern A&M's Golden Norsemen cruised to an 82-64 victory Monday night over Carl Albert State College in the NEO Fieldhouse.




Freshman power forward Frederico Santos contributed a double-double with 18 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Golden Norse (3-3 and 10-8) in both categories. Freshman guard Ja'mill Powell scored 19 points while freshman guard Luther Thomas added 14 and first-year post Nkosi Ali added 10 points.
“Offensively, we were able to get in transition and go to the basket for a lot of easy points,” Golden Norse head coach Dustin Grover said. “Our guys also did a great job of throwing the ball interior and our inside players have done a great job all year of taking it to the basket.”
Carl Albert (0-6 and 2-13) held leads of 6-3, 10-7, 13-9 and 17-13 during the first 12 minutes of the opening half before the Golden Norse went on a 22 to eight run and built a 35-25 halftime lead.
Santos fueled the NEO outburst with 10 points while Thomas added eight points and Powell contributed four points.
A 24 to seven run in the first seven minutes of the second half propelled the Norsemen to a 59-32 cushion and enabled Grover to utilize his entire bench the remainder of the game.
Sophomore forward Jaymere Hadden tallied 29 points for the Vikings and Adrion Webber added 13.
