BETHANY, Okla. – Bulldog Basketball fell behind early on Saturday at league-leading Southern Nazarene and they could never catch up as they dropped a 72-57 decision to the Crimson Storm.
 
SWOSU made just one field goal through the first eight minutes, at which point they already faced a 23-3 deficit that would prove to be insurmountable. The Crimson Storm went on to hit 10 three-pointers in the first half to build a 44-18 lead at the break. SWOSU outscored SNU by 11 after the intermission, but the final score was the closest they got since the opening minutes.
 
Of the 12 different players who saw time for SWOSU, 11 scored, but Bethany native Marquis Johnson was the long player in double figures with 10 points to go along with six rebounds and three steals. Jaylan Williams added nine points after knocking down 3-of-7 three-point attempts.
 
SWOSU (12-12, 8-10 GAC) continues their push to qualify for the GAC Tournament next weekend, when they head to Arkadelphia, Ark., to face Henderson State and Ouachita.
