Strong outside shooting carried Truman State to a 107-95 victory over Rockhurst Saturday at RU's Mason-Halpin Field House.

Seven players combined for 15 three-point field goals for the Bulldogs (10-5, 5-1 GLVC). Truman State closed the first half on a 27-13 run while canning six three-point shots to take a 51-35 halftime lead.

"Clearly we weren't able to guard them today," said Rockhurst coach Drew Diener. "They make it tough by putting five guys on the floor that can shoot. It really opens the floor up for drivers. They are an elite offensive team."

The Hawks outscored Truman State 60-56 in the second half while shooting 63.9 percent from the field. Rockhurst outscored the Bulldogs 38-14 in the paint in the final 20 minutes.

"We did some nice things offensively in the second half but couldn't get close enough; back to work tomorrow," Diener added.

Alex Hagan led the Hawks with a career-high 29 points on 11-of-13 field goal shooting. Quinton Curry collected a season-high 26 points and 13 rebounds. Curtis Lewis posted 25 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Connor Evans added seven points and five assists.

Rockhurst shot 55.5 percent from the field (36 of 68) and 23.5 percent from behind the 3-point line (four of 17). Truman made 33 of 60 field goals (55.0 percent) and 15 of 28 3-pointers (53.6 percent).

The Hawks (8-8, 2-5 GLVC) play at Lewis on Thursday.
