NACOGDOCHES, Texas – Nana Antwi-Boasiako dropped a career-high 21 points and Stephen F. Austin rolled past Gardner-Webb 86-71 Thursday evening in non-conference action.
Antwi-Boasiako, a Nacogdoches native and 6-foot-9, 220-pounder, showed the ability to hit the jump shot, and also find space to work in front of the rim to cause problems for the Runnin' Bulldogs. Antwi-Boasiako was fouled several times and finished 13-for-14 at the free-throw line.
Antwi-Boasiako shot 2-for-3 from beyond the arc, grabbed seven rebounds and added two blocks and a pair of steals.
The 'Jacks went into halftime with a 45-37 lead, and turned on the pressure in the second half and "Press U" caused havoc.
In the final 20 minutes the 'Jacks forced GWU into 10 turnovers, which was turned into 11 points. For the game, SFA forced 19 turnovers, which was deposited as 24 points for the 'Jacks.
On the flip side, SFA committed just 13 turnovers and protected the ball well.
As a team, the 'Jacks shot 49.2 percent (29-for-59) from the floor, including converting 50 percent (8-for-16) from beyond the arc.
Roti Ware came off the bench and added 16 points on 5-for-10 shooting from the field. Ware grabbed six rebounds and handed out a team-high five assists.
Latrell Jossell scored 13 points on 5-for-9 shooting from the floor, while Sadaidriene Hall added 12 points to go with six boards.
The Lumberjacks return to action Tuesday and host Alcorn State at 6:30 p.m.
