OXFORD, Ohio – On a feed from Jimmy Marshall, David Walker slammed down the game-winning bucket as the Northeastern men's basketball team (3-0) escaped Florida Atlantic (0-3), 60-58 in the opening game of the Men Against Breast Cancer Challenge Friday night.
 
Walker slipped into the lane untouched and weaved his way to the basket to finish with the dunk with just two seconds remaining in the game.
 
Walker finished the game with 19 points in his return to his home state. He, Zach Stahl, and Quincy Ford combined for 55 of the Huskies 60 points on the day. Stahl finished the game with 20 points and 11 rebounds, the first 20-point game of his career and the third double-double, first since Jan. 17, 2015.
 
Also in double figures was Ford who finished with 16 points and five rebounds. Ford was a perfect 6-of-6 from the charity stripe including 4-of-4 down the stretch.
 
With his 16 points, Ford moved into the top-20 on the Northeastern career scoring chart and into 19^th place passing Jack Malvey (1,170, 1961-64) and Chip Rucker (1,172, 1977-81).
 
Marshall finished the game with a career-high eight rebounds, including a huge one at the end of regulation to set Walker up.
 
Stahl dominated the first half for the Huskies recording 11 of Northeastern's 23 first-half points.
 
In the second half, Stahl and Walker led the team early on notching the Huskies first 10 points of the half before Ford came on and scored 11 of Northeastern's next 12 points.  
 
Ford sank those four free throws, slammed down a dunk off of a Florida Atlantic turnover, and Walker finished with an up and under for as the Huskies went on a 16-0 run to take a six-point lead over a 3:55 period in the second half.
 
The lead was the first for the Huskies since 3:36 in the first half.
 
Marquan Botley single handedly helped FAU regain the lead tallying seven straight points over a 1:20 span to put FAU up 55-54. But the Huskies held FAU to just one basket in the final 3:32 and scored six points of their own, including Walkers slam, to walk away with the victory.
 
Both the men's and women's teams are off to a 3-0 start to the season for the first time in school history.
 
The Huskies look to remain undefeated when they return to action tomorrow in game two of the Men Against Breast Challenge in Oxford, Ohio when they take on Lipscomb at 1:30 p.m.
