Grand Forks, N.D. (AP)  Blake Hamilton scored five of northern Arizona's 11 points in overtime, leading the Lumberjacks to a 74-72 victory at North Dakota on Saturday afternoon.
 
Dewayne Russell, who scored 21 points, got the Lumberjacks (10-16, 7-9 big sky) into the extra session with a game-tying layup with 11 seconds left in regulation. In overtime, Hamilton made a jumper and three free throws, the last of which gave NAU the lead for good, 70-69.
 
Aaron Anderson scored 24 points and made three overtime 3-pointers for the green and white (11-14, 8-8), the last of which made it 73-72 with 4 seconds left. NAU's Gabe Rogers, who scored 24 points, was fouled and made a free throw, and North Dakota couldn't get off another shot.
 
The game was Northern Arizona's first-ever trip to Grand Forks and only the second meeting between the programs. UND won 81-79 in Flagstaff, Arizona on January 26th.
