WEATHERFORD, Okla.- The Crimson Storm finished off the regular season at Southwestern Oklahoma State. Southern Nazarene defeated the Bulldogs, 65-56, claiming an outright GAC Regular Season Championship.

The Southern Nazarene (20-6,17-5 GAC) defense shined once again collecting 10 steals and 37 boards on the day. The Storm also forced 13 SWOSU (15-12,12-10 GAC) turnovers.

Baron Bracey kept the scoring going as he collected a few buckets in the paint to maintain the SNU lead. Bam Johnson and Strong each knocked down one final shot in the paint to give the Crimson Storm a 28-21 lead at the half.

The Bulldogs opened up the second half with a 9-2 run to tie the score at 30-30. They held their lead until a made jumper from Golson put the Storm back in front by one. SWOSU took back the lead, but Golson was clutch again, knocking down a triple to put SNU in front 44-42. 

Bracey and Strong made their way to the charity stripe knocking down a handful of free throws to put the Storm up 56-48 with 4:57 left to play. The Crimson Storm continued to tack on the points before Strong knocked down a few more free throws securing the 65-56 victory in Weatherford.
