SNU Wins Home Opener Over Texas A&M International

SNU starts new season 1-0 with win over Texas A&M International

BETHANY, Okla. –  Southern Nazarene opened the SNU Tip-Off Classic with a hard-fought win Friday, holding off Texas A&M International 89-83.

The Crimson Storm (1-0) trailed by one after the first quarter, but took control in the middle two quarters to build the lead they would need to survive a late push.

Texas A&M International (1-1) came out hot, shooting 60.0 percent in the first quarter and going 3-of-5 from three to take a 24-23 lead. SNU answered in the second, shooting 61.1 percent from the field and 2-of-3 from three to outscore the Dustdevils 24-16 and take a 47-40 lead into halftime.

Southern Nazarene kept rolling in the third quarter. The Crimson Storm shot 59.1 percent in the quarter and outscored Texas A&M International 27-17 to stretch the lead to 74-57 heading to the fourth.

The Dustdevils refused to go away. Texas A&M International outscored SNU 26-15 in the final quarter, getting to the free-throw line 19 times and knocking down 10, while SNU went just 5-of-12 from the line in the final quarter. The Dustdevils cut it to six, but SNU held on for the six-point win.

Nessa Begay led the way with a game-high 20 points on 9-of-21 shooting, adding a game-high 15 rebounds and seven assists. Halyn Browning followed with 14 points, while Kezia Grant-Bobb chipped in 11 points off the bench.

SNU finished the night shooting 55.2 percent from the field and out-rebounded Texas A&M International 45-32.
