A three-pointer by B.J. Hollis gave Sully a brief 7-6 lead with 18:17 left in the opening half.

Two more lead exchanges would follow before back-to-back jumpers by Thomasson pushed the home team ahead by a slim 11-8 margin.

Hollis fired off another long range jumper that ended a 10-0 Lobo run and extended Sully's lead, 27-10 at 9:41.

Sul Ross would go on to sport three, 15-point leads down the stretch before Tristen Licon's three-pointer gave the home squad its largest lead of 16 at 4:23.

LeTourneau could pull no closer than nine and ended the half on two free throws by Caleb Loggins that narrowed the Lobo advantage, 49-37.

Sully held a double digit lead for a majority of the second half.

Conner Dawson connected from outside the arc at the 10:53 mark ending a 10-0 Lobo run.

Gary Ringo, JR then found pay dirt with a long range basket on the next possession and spread the gap, 72-51 at 9:58.

The Jackets squeezed their deficit down to eight as Seth Mattson converted an old school, three-point play at 1:49.

Two free throws by Alec Colhoff at 24 seconds trimmed the Lobo lead to six before a pair of foul shots by Thomasson and a layup by Licon paved the way for the 92-82 Sul Ross win.

Hollis and Licon finished with 19 and 17 points respectively while Ringo tallied 11 points.

The Lobos hit 32-of-62 shots from the field at a season-high 52 percent including 11-of-27 shooting from beyond the arc.

With the win, Sul Ross improves to 3-4 on the season and bumps its ASC mark to 1-1. LeTourneau falls to 6-2 and suffered its first conference setback at 3-1.

Sully will entertain East Texas Baptist in a 7:30 nightcap Monday.
