Honorable Mention: Men's basketball sweeps Trinity for first time in SCAC era

For the first time since the Southwestern Pirates joined the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, the men's basketball team was victorious in both meetings over conference-rival Trinity. 

The two teams first met up in San Antonio on January 16th. Ryan Ogden posted his second career double-double with game-highs in points, 28, and rebounds, 10, to lead the Pirates to a 74-69 win. SU shot 42.9% from the floor and an astonishing 59.1% from three point range and 86.4% from the free throw line. Trinity was held to 44.6% from the field, 34.6% from long range and 52.6% from the charity stripe.

Three weeks later the rematch was on, this time in Georgetown. Trinity fought back from 11 points down with 3:42 to play to make a game of it, but Southwestern prevailed with a 60-54 win. Chris Lee ended the game with 18 points to lead all scorers while Zach Whitlock posted a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds. 

Southwestern ended the year with a 15-11 overall record after a thrilling run in the SCAC Championship. The Pirates defeated Schreiner in double overtime in the Quarterfinals 81-76 before falling to Centenary 87-80 in the Semifinals.
