NWOSU 52, Eagles 32 (men)

In a stunning upset, Northwestern Oklahoma stifled the Oklahoma Christian men with a 52-32 win at Alva.

The offensive-minded Eagles were stone cold from the field, shooting only 25 percent in its lowest offensive output in Dan Hays 23 seasons at OC.

Northwestern's defense hampered the Eagles as the Rangers' Brandon Parker worked the inside for a game-high 16 points, and La Ron Bradley hit three treys when they counted the most.

The Rangers led 24-17 at halftime and the Eagles were unable to generate an offensive threat managing only five field goals in the second half.
