Oklahoma City, Okla. - Southwestern Christian took Oklahoma City University to overtime tonight, but fell by three points after one overtime, 83-80. The match was one of SCU's strongest showings, but the win still slipped through the SCU's fingers.

In overtime, SCU put up 12 to OCU's 15, as the Eagles fell to 4-12 on the year. Deondre Dunn led SCU in points with 20, and was just one rebound shy of a double-double, with 9 rebounds. George McCurdy's 17 points was good for second-best, and his team-leading 4 assists and 2 steals made him a terror on all sides of the court.

Wooldridge had 5 rebounds and an assist, while Kennedy had 3 rebounds, an assist, and a steal. Chris Fetuga would eventually foul out of the game, but not before finding 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and a steal with 6 points.
