The nationally 12th-ranked Ferris State University men's basketball squad had its seven-game winning streak snapped on Saturday (Jan. 13) as the Bulldogs fell to Northern Michigan 75-71 at the Berry Events Center.
The Bulldogs led most of the game, but NMU shot 30 free throws, making 24 in rallying late for the triumph. The Wildcats got a big three-point shot from Max Weisbrod on their final possession to bounce in and a pair of Bulldog long range attempts in the closing seconds rimmed away as the NMU prevailed.
Ferris State jumped out to a 38-36 halftime lead thanks to 16 points in the opening 20 minutes from junior guard Ethan Erickson, but he was held scoreless in the second half.
Erickson paced FSU with 16 points while former Wildcat Dolapo Olayinka had 13 points for the Bulldogs. Both Jack Ammerman and Reece Hazelton chipped in 10 points each.
The Bulldogs shot 50% from the floor and went seven-of-16 (43.8%) from three-point rang
