McMurry Handles Youthful Mountaineers

Visiting McMurry wasted little time by jumping out to a 15-4 lead and held off several Schreiner rallies for a comfortable 83-67 win.  The Mountaineers' put virtually an all-freshmen and sophomore lineup on the floor in an attempt to break a three-game losing streak to no avail.  Upperclassmen played only three minutes for the injury-plagued SU team that fell to 4-7 in ASC play.  McMurry improved to 4-8 but has now won two of three games and was coming off a win over then-#4 ranked Mary Hardin-Baylor last week.

McMurry rolled to a big early lead but saw Schreiner slowly reel them in.  After the quick start, the Mountaineers put on a rally of their own and eventually tied the game at 24-all before McMurry distanced themselves again and took a 40-31 halftime lead.

McMurry kept pouring in shots early in the second half and eventually opened up a 60-35 lead.  Schreiner would cut that lead to 10 (71-61) but could get no closer in the closing minutes.
