BOSTON – Trailing 48-28 with 16 minutes left in the game, the Northeastern men's basketball team (5-4) stormed back to take the lead with four minutes remaining in regulation to knock off Colgate (3-5) on Friday night at Matthews Arena.

Jahmyl Telfort led five Huskies in double-figures, the most in a game this season, with 18 points on 8-of-12 from the field. Redshirt senior Shaquille Walters (14), graduate student Tyreek Scott-Grayson (12), redshirt junior Chris Doherty (11) and redshirt senior Jason Strong (11) all finished in double figures.
 
Northeastern trailed by 14 at halftime thanks to 54% shooting (15-of-28) from the Raiders, including 7-of-14 from deep. Colgate finished 25-of-52 overall after a 10-of-24 performance in the second half. Nelly Cummings led three Raiders in double figures with 18 points (7-of-15 shooting) and five assists.
 
An 11-5 run to start the second half ballooned the Colgate lead up to 20 with 16:10 to go before Northeastern started to chip away, cutting it to 10 with 10:52 left and all the way down to one with 4:35 left.

That set the table for Walters as Northeastern regained possession off a rebound and Walters sunk a jump shot to give the team its first lead (61-60) since the 17:34 mark of the first half (2-0).
  
The last time that the Huskies overcame a 15–20-point deficit was back in January when Hofstra held a 19-point lead with 19:30 minutes left and Northeastern went on to win the game 81-78 in overtime. 

The Huskies shot 51.9% (27-for-52) overall and 6-for-18 from three, and recorded a season-low nine turnovers. In his second game back since being out with an injury, Scott-Grayson recorded a season-high 12 points, four rebounds and two assists. The team combined for 30 rebounds with Doherty and Strong leading the team with seven each. 

The Huskies will return to Matthews Arena on Tuesday, Dec. 7 as they host Massachusetts at 7 p.m. on NESN. Tickets are available by visiting NUHuskies.com/tickets.
