Concordia Pulls Away Late to Hand 'Roos Road Loss

AUSTIN, Texas - The Austin College men's basketball team dropped an 88-77 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference contest on Saturday at Concordia University, as the Tornados closed the game with a 17-9 run to pull away in the final minutes. The 'Roos are now 6-16 overall and 1-12 in conference play.

It was a tight game at the half, with the 'Roos trailing just 36-34, and after the Tornadoes pushed the margin to 65-55 midway through the second half, Austin College slowly started to chip away at the deficit. A basket by Aidan Schnurr cut it to 71-68 with 4:47 left, but the 'Roos would get no closer as Concordia went on its game-ending 17-9 run from there to put the game out of reach. 

Jackson Rennie made 6-of-13 three pointers to finish with a team-high 24 points for Austin College, and Kidus Getenet added 22 points and six boards. Schnurr came off the bench to score 13 points while adding six assists. Price Bradley led the 'Roos with seven assists, and Jordan Hudgins grabbed a team-best seven rebounds. Aaron San Miguel led all scorers with 29 points for the Tornados.
