Simpson took the game over with a 16-4 run midway through the second half. North Park led 52-50 when Tyler Stumbo made back-to-back buckets to begin the run. His jumper with 4:02 left gave the Storm a 66-56 lead.

Stumbo scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half to spark the Storm off the bench.

Tangen Vegard scored 15 points and Izaiah Sanders added 14 and 10 rebounds for the Vikings (0-2). North Park shot nearly 49 percent from the field but committed 19 turnovers that turned into 19 Simpson points.
