THE RUNDOWN

CLAREMORE, Okla. – Rogers State completed the season sweep of St. Edward's Thursday night with a 76-70 win at the Claremore Expo Center.  Saint Hilaire scored 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Hillcats, as RSU has now taken win over the Hilltoppers both in Austin and at home this season.
 
Hilaire, who scored 26 points Nov. 30 in Austin to help the Hillcats beat SEU, added 28 more Thursday on 10-of-14 shooting. LANDON GOESLING scored 21 points in the loss and freshman Corey Sherville had his first college double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds in the loss for SEU (15-9, 5-7).
 
For just the sixth time this season SEU committed more turnovers than its opponent. RSU (15-8, 6-5) had just seven turnovers in the contest, and the Hillcats turned 13 SEU turnovers into 18 points to help aid the victory.
 
After a two-point lead at half with RSU leading 40-38, the Hillcats built a 14-point lead at 58-44 with 13:32 left in the second half forcing SEU to play comeback for the remainder of the contest. The Hilltoppers' SEAN WATKINS hit a 3-pointer with 2:00 left to cut the lead to three points at 69-66, but RSU answered with four-straight points and then held off any further rally.
