Kai Simpson anchored Northwestern State’s offensive effort with 17 points and five rebounds in a decisive 77-49 victory over Millsaps on Tuesday night in Natchitoches, La. The Demons (1-3) displayed superior athleticism and execution against the Division III Majors, extending their lead comfortably in the second half to secure a dominant win. Simpson’s scoring burst provided the necessary spark, but the team’s collective efficiency ensured the margin of victory remained wide throughout the contest.
Demons dominate Division III opposition with balanced attack led by Simpson and Vick
The Demons’ frontcourt presence was equally impactful, with Isaiah Vick delivering a versatile performance that included 12 points and a game-high 11 rebounds. Vick shot an efficient 4-of-6 from the field and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, while Kordrick Turner contributed 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting. This balanced scoring attack overwhelmed Millsaps, whose best scorer was Davis Joyner with 11 points. Despite efforts from Caleb Hunt (8 points) and Devin Petersen (7 points), the Majors could not keep pace with the higher-level competition.
Northwestern State now turns its attention to a tougher challenge as it travels to face Little Rock on Saturday. The Demons will look to build on this momentum and refine their defensive strategies against a more potent opponent. With Simpson and Vick establishing their roles as primary offensive weapons, the team enters the next matchup with confidence and a clear path to improving its 1-3 season record.
