ASHLAND, Wis. – All five starters scored double figures as the UW-Superior men's basketball team notched an 85-64 Upper Midwest Athletic Conference road victory over Northland at Kendrigan Gymnasium on Saturday.
 
Junior Josef Fahrenholz tallied a game-high-tying 15 points on 6-for-12 shooting, adding seven rebounds, in the Yellowjackets' second consecutive win. Junior Eli Vogel (Appleton, Wis./Appleton West) also scored 15 – including 10 in the first half – with two assists. Classmate Mason Ackley (Superior, Wis./Superior Senior) turned in Superior's second double-double of the season with 14 points and 12 boards.
 
UWS (5-8, 2-1 UMAC) led nearly the entire game, shooting better than 46 percent (32-for-69) on the day. The 'Jackets built a 44-25 advantage at halftime with the help of a 7-for-12 showing from 3-point range in the first half. 
 
Fahrenholtz hit consecutive shots to ignite a 9-0 run and open a 12-4 lead with just over three minutes off the clock. Vogel strung together five straight, capping the stretch with a 3-pointer. Junior Xavier Patterson (Superior, Wis./Superior Senior) then hit a trey to give UWS its first double-digit edge of the game at 20-10. The lead grew to 29-15 on a steal and layup by Ackley with 9:04 remaining in the half. Ackley then stripped Northland's Ben Smith with 3:13 to play and found T.J. Moberg (Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park) for a triple in transition to make it a 42-25 score.
 
Senior Carter Brown (Eau Claire, Wis./Regis Catholic) put Superior ahead by 30 at 65-35 with six minutes gone in the second after a 3-pointer of his own before Fahrenholtz converted an old-fashioned three-point play with 7:05 remaining. That gave UWS its largest lead of the day at 79-46.
 
Northland (3-11, 2-1) used a 16-2 run to cut the deficit to 18 at 81-63 with 3:10 to play but got no closer. 
 
The LumberJacks received 12 points and eight rebounds from Tyler Tuura off the bench while Jordan Brennan (11 points) and Drew Lindberg (10) also scored double digits.
 
UWS is back in action Tuesday when it travels to Hancock, Mich., to close non-conference play against Finlandia. Game time at the Paavo Nurmi Center is set for 6:30 p.m.
