Another Big Win for the Norsemen

After Monday's big win over Streator, Norsemen fans were looking for yet another strong performance from their team, and they didn't leave disappointed. Newark trounced the Huskers in the first two quarters going up 24-2 in the first and followed that up with a 22-5 advantage in the second giving them a big 39 point lead heading into the locker room. The Norsemen eased it up in the second half moving into a 2-3 defense and running the clock with some solid ball movement on offense. The final score would end up at 69-23. The Norsemen offense was very balanced with four different players recording double digits for the second straight day. Newark was also able to post it's second straight day of shooting over 50 percent from the field. Possibly the biggest stat for the Norsemen had to come in the turnover department. Newark was able to force 16 turnovers as a team, the heavy majority of which coming in the first half, while giving up the ball just 4 times. The next game for the 2-0 Norsemen will be on day 3 of the Sandwich Thanksgiving Tournament against Sandwich. Tip-off will be at 6:30 on Wednesday.
