SGU (7-20) was led by senior Fayzon Richey, who had a game high 21 points.
In the earlier game of the evening, the No. 8 seed in the women’s bracket held on over the No. 9 seed in a game that got close in the second half.
Mid-America Christian led by as many as 14 early, but staved off USAO to preserve a 69-64 victory.
Parris Price had 32 points, a career high, for MACU (14-14) in the win. Kourtni Williams also put in 21.
USAO finished the year at 10-19. Rocio Medrano paced the Drovers with 22 points and Paige Pulliam had a season-high 16 points in the loss.
