Nick Nickle earns SPARTAN SHOP Athlete of the Week after breaking the NCC career record for 3-pointers made. Nickle has 96 career threes, eclipsing the mark of 93 previously held by Tanner Duncan. Sophomore Nick Nickle knocked down four 3-pointers to establish a new NCC career record, but it wasn't enough as Bergen used a strong second half from Maynard Freeman to earn an 80-71 victory on Saturday afternoon.Nickle, who finished with 15 points, broke the NCC career record for 3-pointers early in the game when he knocked down his second trey and finished with four trifectas, giving him 96 for his career, eclipsing the mark of 93 set by Tanner Duncan (2005-07).
Freeman scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half as the Bulldogs pulled away from a 36-36 halftime deadlock to pick up the conference victory.
"Turnovers and defensive lapses ..." stated NCC Head Coach Kevin Foley, "too many of both of them ... we continue to play hard, but our decision-making and focus continue to lack at times."
All-Region candidate Ralph Padilla scored 16 points, as did freshman Jaylonn Tullis, to lead Northampton.
The Spartans fall to 9-17 overall and 8-15 in Region XIX.
Bergen improves to 8-16 overall and 7-14 in Region XIX.
Northampton closes out their season on Tuesday when they host Middlesex County College at 7pm.
