Noah Payne Game Report: @ Franklin County

Noah Payne, Northeastern's leading scorer, solidified his role on Saturday. Payne wasn't messing around, going 7 for 13 on his way to 18 points and five rebounds. The matchup was his fourth straight with 15 or more points.

Payne and Northeastern will venture away from home to challenge Cambridge City Lincoln at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Payne hasn't had any trouble running up the score (he's averaged 15.2 per game this season), but he'll have his work cut out for him against a dominant the Golden Eagles defense that's only given up 31.8 points per game.
