Weatherford, Okla. -- The NCAA D-II Southwestern Oklahoma State University Bulldogs outscored the Mid-America Christian University Evangels 51-32 in the second half and went on to a 93-73 win in an exhibition contest tonight (Nov 4) in Weatherford, Okla. 

The numbers told a story of two halves for both schools, with the Evangels shooting 50 percent (15-of-30) overall in the first half and 46.2 percent (6-of-13) from the perimeter, but cooled off dramatically to only 35.5 percent (11-of-31) overall in the second half and only 18.2 percent (2-of-11) from three-point distance. 

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs shot an identical 50 percent (15-of-3) in the opening half but warmed up to a 57.1 percent (16-of-28) clip in the second and went from a 27.3 percentage (3-of-11) from three to a 54.5 (6-of-11) percent three-point clip in the second half. 

The turning point in the game came at the 16:43 mark of the second half when the Bulldogs scored 14 straight points over the next three minutes to wipe out a one-point Evangel lead and take control 61-48. 

The Bulldogs then cruised to the win, maintaining at least a 12-point lead the rest of the way. 

The first half featured spurts from both sides, as the Evangels led by as many as six before the Bulldogs went on a 14-0 run to lead by eight. 

MACU then battled back when two threes from Jerrick Massenburge keyed a 14-3 push that put the Evangels back in front 36-33 at the 4:44 mark. 

The Evangels remained in front until a layup from Mark Braden tied the score at 40-40 with 57 seconds left.  

After Semar Farris temporarily put the Evangels back on top with one free throw, a layup by Ayo Ojo gave SWOSU a 42-41 lead at the break. 

Farris led the Evangels (2-0) with a game-high 24 points, while Massenburge added 17. 

Kenyon Borders paced five Bulldogs in double-figures with 18 points. 

The Evangels will next play two games this weekend in the Hudiburg Tip-Off Classic at Hillsdale College in Moore, Okla. beginning on Friday (Nov. 7).
