HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – Hofstra (16-11, 9-5) buried 13 threes and Jaquan Carlos dished out 19 of the team's 25 total assists to help the Pride top the Northeastern men's basketball team (10-17, 5-9) on Saturday at the Mack Sports Complex, 82-62.
 
Luka Sakota led the Huskies with 13 points, and was joined in double figures by Chris Doherty (12 points) and Masai Troutman (11 points, five rebounds) for a Northeastern team that finished 24-of-50 overall and 8-of-22 from three.
 
Darlinstone Dubar (24) and German Plotnikov (20) combined for 44 points on the afternoon as the Pride shot 56%  
 
Hofstra led for nearly the entire afternoon thanks to an 8-of-11 start from the field and a combined 22 points from Dubar and Tyler Thomas to take a 41-30 lead into the locker room. The Pride, which shot 54% as a team in the opening 20 minutes, went 6-of-12 from deep and used a 9-2 run over the final 1:32 to get its lead up to double digits at the break.
 
The Huskies, meanwhile, were hot and cold, starting the game 1-of-6 before a string of five in a row brought the visitors back into the game. Doherty was the difference for Northeastern, scoring 12 points on 5-of-7 from the field to keep the Huskies within striking distance, while Troutman add nine points. 
 
Northeastern got the deficit down to eight early in the second half, but another barrage of threes from the Pride including a string of four in a row over a six-minute stretch would put the game out of reach.
 
The Huskies will return home next week for its final two home games of the season, beginning on Thursday night against Elon. Tip-off at Matthews Arena is set for 7 p.m. on NESN+ and FloHoops.
