DAHLONEGA | Six Nighthawks scored in double figures as the University of North Georgia men's basketball team snapped division-leading Montevallo's seven-game winning streak, 93-86, in Peach Belt Conference action on Saturday afternoon in UNG's Memorial Hall.  The win broke an eight-game losing streak to the Falcons for UNG.

North Georgia's last win over Montevallo dates back to January 24, 2011 (68-64). 
 
Shaquan Cantrell led the Nighthawks with 17 points while T.J. Williams added 13 points and a team-best nine rebounds.  Ebo Smith and Travis core each scored 13 while Sean Brennan and Corey Green added 12 and 11 respectively for the Nighthawks.

Troran Brown led Montevallo (16-8, 12-2 PBC) with 18 points and passed the 1,500 career points plateau.

North Georgia trailed for most of the first half before a late 13-3 run handed gave the Nighthawks a 34-33 lead at the break.  The teams would trade the lead a few times early in the second half, but North Georgia would claim the lead for good with 13:41 showing on the clock.

UNG held a decisive 44-33 edge on the glass but struggled from the charity stripe, 22-40 (55%).

North Georgia returns to action on Wednesday (Feb. 11) with a road trip to Georgia Southwestern.
