NORFOLK, Va. -- Jonathan Wade scored 25 and Kyle Williams added a career-high 23 and they sparked a 12-1 closing run in overtime to help Norfolk State snap an eight-game losing streak with an 87-80 win over Eastern Kentucky on Monday night.

After an EKU free throw, Williams hit his fifth 3 and the Colonels missed twice before Jordan Butler closed it with two free throws.
