SEGUIN, Texas -- Texas Lutheran won another close Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference game as junior forward Zach Behr made a leaning layup with five seconds to play to lift the Bulldogs to a 73-72 home win Friday over University of Dallas.

In TLU's Memorial Gymnasium, Behr scored off the right block, putting TLU in front by one. Dallas' last-second heave from 10 feet beyond the three-point line glanced off the rim.
