LUBBOCK, Texas (November 24, 2015) – A career-tying night for Ridrell Holman fueled a 78-56 Lubbock Christian University victory over Sul Ross State, as the junior matched his overall bests of 21 points, nine rebounds, five three-pointers and three steals Tuesday night inside the Rip Griffin Center.
 
Marcos Schuster delivered a season-best 11 points, while Isaac Cardona put up 10 and A.J. Luckey, Marcus Arrington and Brennen Fowler each added eight. The Chaps (4-1, 0-0 Heartland) connected on half of their shot attempts compared to 33-percent by the Lobos (0-3, 0-0 American Southwest), whereas LCU was 2-of-5 from the free throw line compared to a 17-for-20 showing by Sul Ross.
 
A three by Sul Ross's Alex Harrison gave the Lobos their first and only lead of the contest at 5-4 until a barrage of shots from deep by the Chaps, one by Marcus Arrington and a pair from Luckey, flipped the score to 17-5 in favor of LCU. Jacob Caloss of Sul Ross pulled the Lobos to within 19-16 with under 12 minutes to play in the half before Holman answered a minute later to double LCU's lead to 22-16.
 
Six of Fowler's points came in a minute-and-a-half span to put the Chaps up 32-21 at the 5:26 mark, and a trio of threes from Holman capped a 13-3 LCU run for a 41-24 lead two minutes preceding the intermission. Rocky Feliciano of the Lobos hit a layup and then sank two free throws with no time remaining for a 41-28 Chap advantage.
 
Former Chap Jacob Dawson opened the second stanza with a three from the right wing, but a 15-2 run that included consecutive treys from Arrington, Michael Grant and Schuster expanded the margin to 56-33. Three points by Scout Teal kept the Chap lead at 23 with 10:28 left on the clock. Five straight points by Holman and an and-one courtesy of Schuster gave LCU their largest lead of the night at 73-43 with under four minutes remaining to move the Chaps to the win.
 
The Chaps continue their five-game homestand on Monday, November 30, against Hillsdale Free Will Baptist at 7 p.m. at The Rip.
