The win comes as JSC's  first road win of the season. Johnson State jumps to 6-6 overall and 4-2 in the NAC while GMC slides to 1-10 overall and 0-5 in the NAC.

Both senior forward Cody Camisa (Colchester, Vt. / Colchester) and junior forward Bryan Hickey (Barre, Vt./Spaulding) tallied 15 points each for JSC followed closely by sophomore guard Asim Khan (Torrance, Calif./Torrance) with 14 points, 10 for 10 in free throws, four boards and three assists. Ron Adrian (Schenectady, N.Y. / Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons) contributed a crucial 11 points and six rebounds to the Badger's win.

The visiting team would hold leads as much as 17-4 and 33-20 in the first 15 minutes of the half. Although GMC would surge to close the gap at the half bringing the score to 37-31, the Eagles could not keep pace with Johnson.
