Balancing Act

Southern Nazarene spread the wealth in a big win

McGloster has led SNU in scoring twice this season with both times being 14 points.
Box Score PLAINVIEW, Texas — No. 14 Southern Nazarene showed it's not an easy team to guard Thursday night as five different players scored in double figures in a 75-62 win over Wayland Baptist.
 
It is the sixth time this season that the Crimson Storm (16-5, 9-4 SAC) have had five players in double figures and all five times they have won.
 
Horace McGloster and Daniel White combined for 28 points as each played had 14 on the night. McGloster added five rebounds and a pair of blocks while White pulled in four rebounds and two assists and two steals. Jon West was just a point behind with 13 points and five rebounds while Tyrone Lyons and Ryan Aaron each had 10 points.
 
SNU shot at least 50 percent for the 10th time this season, firing 51.7 percent from the field. The Storm were 30-for-58 and had five 3-pointers as well. Southern Nazarene also gave up just three treys as WBU went 3-for-12 from beyond the arc.
 
The win gives SNU the season sweep over the Pioneers and keeps a streak alive in the fact that the Storm haven't lost back-to-back games all year.
 
SNU started to pull away early and got momentum rolling when Aaron had a thunderous dunk just past the midway point in the first half that sparked a 14-4 run that ended with an Aaron Jones trey as SNU took a 29-20 lead with 3:17 left in the first. Wayland Baptist closed it to 29-23, but the Storm got five straight points from West to take their biggest lead of the half at 34-23 with 1:04 remaining. The Pioneers though closed the half with two straight buckets to make it a 34-27 game at the half.
 
WBU got as close as five at 42-37 with 13:55 left to play, but that was as close as the Pioneers came. McGloster buried a 3-pointer to put SNU back up by eight and that started a 9-2 run to give the Storm a 51-39 advantage. Wayland cut it to nine against at 53-44 before a pair of buckets from White gave SNU a 57-44 lead with 8:14 left and the Storm held the Pioneers off the rest of the way.
 
SNU will now have a chance to get back a game it dropped inside the Sawyer Center earlier in the year as they travel to Lubbock Christian for a 3 p.m. game Saturday. Last year SNU grabbed a win in Lubbock before LCU returned the favor in Bethany.
