Camden Hyman scored a game-high 32 points, but it wasn’t enough Friday night as Texas Lutheran defeated Schreiner 86-81 at Stephens Family Arena, dealing a significant blow to the Mountaineers’ Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament hopes with the regular season winding down.

The Bulldogs shot 54.2% from the field and 47.6% from 3-point range, controlling the game throughout to hand Schreiner a defeat that was compounded by news that Colorado College routed Centenary 81-62 earlier in the evening — a result that further complicated Schreiner’s postseason positioning.

Mason Wallace led Texas Lutheran with 31 points on 11-of-18 shooting, adding 11 rebounds and four assists. Aaron Garcia chipped in 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting to give the Bulldogs a formidable one-two punch that Schreiner’s defense could not contain.

Hyman, a sophomore guard, was a one-man offensive showcase for the Mountaineers, connecting on 10 of 16 field goal attempts, including 6 of 11 from beyond the arc and 6 of 7 from the free-throw line. His effort was one of the finest individual performances of the season for Schreiner, but the team struggled to find consistent contributions elsewhere.

Texas Lutheran seized control early, building a 48-41 halftime lead behind Wallace’s shooting and the Bulldogs’ efficient ball movement. Schreiner could not recover in the second half, outscoring TLU 40-38 after the break, but was unable to overcome the seven-point deficit.

Hudson Czarnecki provided a lift off the bench with 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting for Schreiner, while Dylan Snow added 11 points and five assists. Mario Johnson contributed six points, seven rebounds and a game-high six assists, but the Mountaineers shot just 39.7 percent from the floor overall and connected on only 62.5 percent from the free-throw line on 24 attempts — a mark that haunted Schreiner down the stretch.

Texas Lutheran was assessed a technical foul during the contest, but the Mountaineers were unable to capitalize on the opportunity to swing momentum.

Schreiner held a 41-36 rebounding advantage and committed only nine turnovers, but TLU’s superior shooting efficiency proved to be the difference in the five-point defeat before an attendance of 215 at Stephens Family Arena.
