Last Thursday, the Hawks didn't have too much breathing room in their match against the Tribe, but they still walked away with a 68-64 win.

Monmouth got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Jaret Valencia out in front who scored 11 points along with six blocks. Valencia is on a roll when it comes to blocks, as he's now posted two or more in the last three games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Cornelius Robinson Jr., who scored 12 points along with five rebounds.

Northeastern can finally bid farewell to their four-game losing streak thanks to their game on Thursday. They came out on top against the Fighting Camels by a score of 86-76. The high flying offensive effort was a huge turnaround for Northeastern considering their 55-point performance the game before.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Northeastern to victory, but perhaps none more so than Luka Sakota, who scored 24 points along with two steals. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Sakota has scored all season. Another player making a difference was Rashad King, who scored 17 points along with two blocks.

Everything went Monmouth's way against the Huskies in their previous matchup back in January as the Hawks made off with a 81-62 win.
