BOSTON (AP) -- Quincy Ford netted 24 points, and Northeastern
remained perfect in Colonial Athletic Association play with a
65-60 win over Hofstra Wednesday night.



Ford hit 11 of 17 from the field, aiding the Huskies (10-7, 5-0)
as they continued their best CAA start since beginning 6-0 in
2008-09. Northeastern has now won six of its past seven.



David Imes led four Pride (5-12, 2-2) players in double figures
with 19 points. Stevie Mejia added 12 points and Taran Buie and
Stephen Nwaukoni 11 each for Hofstra, which is 0-8 on the road
this year.



Northeastern sprang to a 10-3 lead and held the advantage
throughout the contest. Jordan Allen hit a layup for Hofstra
with 1:04 left to cut the margin to 63-60, but the Pride missed
four field-goal attempts - including three 3-point tries - and
Northeastern's Jonathan Lee drained two free throws in the
remaining time.
