NACOGDOCHES, Texas- Stephen F. Austin defeated Sam Houston 71-56 Thursday night in the pink out game. SFA improves to 23-5 (13-3 WAC) while SHSU falls to 12-13 (8-7 WAC)

The Ladyjacks jumped out to a 6-0 lead off two three-pointers by Tyler McCliment-Call and Angel Scott. SHSU then went on a 10-0 run to take the lead, and grew their lead to 10 points, but SFA went on another 6-0 spurt to cut the lead down to four points. The Bearkats went into the first quarter break with a six point lead, 22-16. The teams traded blows early on in the second quarter, but SFA was able to regain the lead with 3:29 left in the first half. The Ladyjacks went into halftime with a three-point lead, 35-32. The Ladyjacks offense exploded in the third quarter largely due to the incredible three-point shooting from Scott who nailed four in the quarter. Scott's last three-pointer was a buzzer beater from halfcourt to end the third quarter and the Ladyjacks went into the fourth with a 14 point lead, 54-40. The fourth quarter was smooth sailing for SFA as they held a double-digit lead and almost extended it to 20 points. The Ladyjacks cruised to a 15 point win over the Bearkats.
