Ross clinches Schreiner victory with clutch free throws against UT-Dallas

Kamden Ross hit two free throws with three seconds remaining to lead Schreiner University to a 66-65 victory over the University of Texas-Dallas on Friday at Southwestern University in Georgetown.

Ross scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Mountaineers to their fourth win in five games. The Mountaineers trailed by as many as nine points in the second half against the Comets, which are moving into the NCAA Division II ranks.

However, the Mountaineers battled back, and the two teams traded leads throughout the second half. Neither team successfully shot in the second half, with both shooting 30% from the field.

But Ross found a way to keep the Mountaineers in the game. With 1:55 left in the game, Ross scored on a layup to give the Mountaineers a 62-58 lead. After a turnover, Dallas took a 65-64 lead with a tip-in from Jordan Balderaz with 23 seconds left. But the Comets gave it right back when they fouled Ross in the final seconds.

The Mountaineers got 12 points from Dylan Mackey and nine from Beau Cervantes.
