Senior guard Charles Jenkins led five players in double figures as Hofstra topped Northeastern, 76-67, in Colonial Athletic Association men's basketball action on Saturday afternoon at Matthews Arena in Boston. Senior guard Chaisson Allen led the Huskies with 22 points and five rebounds, three of which were on the offensive glass.

Sophomore guard Jonathan Lee added 14 points for the Huskies (4-11, 0-4 CAA), while rookie guard Alex Harris dished four assists and made three steals and sophomore forward Kauri Black blocked two shots.

Jenkins tallied 20 points, seven assists and three steals for the Pride (10-5, 4-0 CAA), who remain the only team unbeaten in CAA play after their third straight win. All five Hofstra starters scored in double figures with junior guard Mike Moore netting 16 points, senior forward Greg Washington scoring 14, senior guard Brad Kelleher adding 11 and sophomore forward David Imes tallying a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Hofstra jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the opening minute when Moore hit a three and Washington followed with a mid-range jumper. That kicked off an 11-4 Hofstra run that opened the game.

The Huskies responded with eight unanswered points, taking their first lead of the game when Black drove to the hoop and put in a layup to put Northeastern up 12-11 with 14:10 to go in the first half.

The Pride got back on top with the next bucket, when Washington found Imes under the hoop for the layup.

Hofstra built a five-point lead, but the Huskies came back to tie the game at 21-21 with 9:37 to go in the first half after getting three straight baskets on three-pointers from Lee, Harris and sophomore guard Joel Smith. Washington knocked down a jumper to put the Pride back on top and Hofstra built its lead to 37-31 at the half.

The Pride maintained control in the second half. The Huskies got back within four after Allen hit a pair of free throws with 11:46 to go, but Hofstra added to its lead from there.

The Pride shot well from everywhere on the floor, going 25-of-47 (53.2 percent) from the field, 8-of-14 (57.1 percent) from beyond the arc and 18-of-20 (90 percent) from the free throw line. Northeastern shot 25-of-54 (46.3 percent) from the floor. Hofstra held a 30-25 advantage on the boards.
