WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) Mike Okauru forced overtime with a late dunk in regulation, then scored at the basket and added two free throws in the final 25 seconds of overtime to allow UNC Wilmington to get past Northeastern Huskies 76-74 and its first win in eight Colonial Athletic Association starts on Saturday night.

Jordan Roland hit back-to-back jumpers in the final 65 seconds of regulation to put Northeastern ahead, 66-64, but after a timeout Okauru took the ball on the wing and drove the lane for a dunk to tie.

Northwestern took a four-point lead in overtime before Okauru erased the deficit with two free throws and a layup at the rim. Brian Tolefree scored on a layup to put the Hawks in front and Okauru scored again at the basket with :25 left to make it 74-70, and his two free throws put the game out of reach at 76-72.

Tolefree finished with 17 points for Wilmington (6-15, 1-7) and Okauru added 16 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and Shykeim Phillips added 14 points.

Roland finished with 38 points to lead Northeastern (10-9, 4-3). Tyson Walker contributed 17 points.
