Southwestern Christian University closed out its season Saturday with a loss to Ozark in the final regular-season matchup. With the defeat, the Eagles officially fell short of qualifying for the Sooner Athletic Conference Tournament.

SCU battled throughout the contest, keeping pace in the opening half and competing on the boards, but Ozark capitalized on key scoring runs in the second half to pull away. The Eagles continued to fight down the stretch, but the deficit proved too much to overcome.

Despite the loss, Southwestern Christian showed resilience in the season finale, with strong efforts on both ends of the floor and contributions throughout the lineup. The Eagles conclude the year looking to build on the experience gained as they turn their focus toward the offseason.
