Roadrunner Rally Falls Short in Loss to Coastal Bend

By: Gary Stallard

Date:

Angelina College’s Deedy Gauno hit a three pointer with 13 seconds to play, and Riley Dewitz nailed one with one second left to get the Roadrunners to within a single point, but Coastal Bend’s Cougars were able to hit free throws and kill the clock to escape Shands Gymnasium with a 77-74 win on Wednesday.

AC trailed by 10 points with six minutes remaining in the game before putting together a 7-2 run in the final two minutes. The threes from Gauno and Dewitz weren’t enough to offset free throws from the Cougars’ Royce Hunter and Brian Payton in the waning moments.

The Roadrunners (8-12, 2-7) will play at Lamar State College-Port Arthur on Saturday. Game time is 4 p.m.

The e-mail address for AC’s Sports Information Director is gstallard@angelina.edu.
