GEORGETOWN, Texas -- Senior guard Mason Wallace (San Antonio/Judson) scored a career-high 29 points and 11 rebounds for his second double-double of the season and junior guard Kolin Polk (Lafayette, LA/Manvel (TX)) had a career-high 16 points as Texas Lutheran held on for a 75-73 road victory over Southwestern Friday night at the Robertson Center in Georgetown.

In a rematch from earlier this season, the Bulldogs (3-3) led for the entire second half, leading by as many as 11 points. Southwestern rallied behind a barrage of second half threes on their senior night and had a chance to win it late but rimmed out at the buzzer.

Wallace finished 11-of-13 from the free throw line and scored 13 of his 29 points in the second half. Wallace added three assists and two steals, both team-highs. Polk finished 4-of-5 from beyond the arc to produce a career night on Friday.

Teddy Tapken (Austin/Lake Travis) and Jediah Chavarin-Rivens (Weslaco/Weslaco East) added eight points each with Tapken adding four rebounds and three assists.

The Bulldogs held an advantage in free throw attempts and took advantage, making 17-of-26 to the Pirates 8-of-20.

TLU had their best shooting performance of the season, shooting 48 percent from the field while holding the Pirates to 38.8 percent shooting.
