HAVRE, Mont. – The 8^th ranked University of Providence men's basketball team pulled off a tight game Thursday night, defeating Montana State Northern 66-61.

Dawson Fowler made four free throws and had a clutch defensive rebound in the final minute of the game to help seal the game for the Argos (17-2, 5-2).

"That's a huge win," head coach Steve Keller said. "It's hard to win up here as everyone knows. That's a good basketball team."

Zaccheus Darko-Kelly led the Argos with 20 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. Jaxen Hashley added 15 points and 9 rebounds, while Jake Wetzel went 4 of 6 from beyond the arc to finish with 12 points. The Argos went deep into the bench as several players missed the game due to sickness.

"We just had guys step up," Keller said. "We played a ton of different lineups. We played pretty well for most of the game."

Kavon Bey led the Lights (12-8, 2-6) with 14 points. Gio Jackson added 12 while Mascio McCadney scored 11.

The Argos will return to the McLaughlin Center Saturday night at 7:30 when they host #9 Carroll.
