GILLETT, Wis. — Niagara sophomore Edward Swanson drained five 3-pointers on his way to a game-high 24 points as Niagara defeated Marinette-Oconto Conference foe Gillett here Friday night. Ty Colenso, with 16 points, and Logan Webber with 10, joined Swanson in scoring double figures.

“Our made free throws sealed the deal in the second half,” said Niagara head coach Steve Derwinski. “Ty Colenso did a great job coming off the bench in the first half, we definitely needed a spark and he did just that.”

Niagara, who also won the JV contest 27-21, improves to 5-9 on the season as they return home to host non-conference rival Goodman-Pembine on Thursday night.

Niagara 24 42 — 66

Gillett 25 31 — 56
