RECAP

SRSU (3-10, 0-5 ASC) lost a pair of heartbreaking decisions to begin the new year.

A one-point, 55-54 loss at Ozarks last Saturday and a 72-69 setback at U.T. Dallas on Monday has Sul Ross searching for its first conference win for 2015-16.

Kenya Miles (Tomball/Memorial) scored 16 points and pulled down nine rebounds as Sul Ross dropped a 55-54 conference decision to University of the Ozarks Saturday.

Jonette Jackson (Killeen/Shoemaker) polled a double double 12 points and 16 rebounds in the effort while Ashley Minjarez (El Paso/Irvin) tallied 10 points in the effort.

The Lady Lobos connected on 22 of 57 shots from the field to finish at 39 percent shooting for the day.

Miles and Ashley Ousley (Killeen/Shoemaker) were perfect from the charity stripe each posting 2-2 performances as Sully nailed down eight of 11 foul shots at 73 percent.
A jumper by Madison Steele and two free throws by Nicolette Erkman with five seconds left fueled a 72-69 U.T. Dallas victory over visiting Sul Ross Monday.

Mia Ochoa (Levelland/Whitharral) paced the Lady Lobos with 16 points while Miles added a double double 15 points and 11 rebounds. Shannon Villanueva (San Raman, CA/California) supplied 13 points in the effort.

Sul Ross shot nearly 50 percent from the field at 10-21 or 49 percent while connecting on five of nine from outside the arc at 63 percent.

At 5-6 on the season Belhaven is fresh off a 73-69 edging of McMurry University Monday in Jackson.
