HAVRE, Mont., December 5, 2019 – Fresh off an upset of No. 19 ranked Providence on Thursday, No. 25 ranked Rocky Mountain College was unable to pull off a similar story in a 57-47 loss to No. 14 ranked MSU-Northern on Saturday night.

The Skylights' Peyton Kehr had a team-high 14 points while Kenya Lorton had 10 points. Sydney Hovde's 13 rebounds and five assists led MSU-Northern in both categories.
