Curtis Lewis scored 21 of his game-high 28 points in the send half to help rally Rockhurst to a 75-69 Senior Day victory over Truman State on Saturday at Mason-Halpin Field House.

Rockhurst (15-10, 9-6 GLVC) has now won five consecutive games and has moved past Truman State into seventh place in the GLVC Point Rating System. The top eight teams in the GLVC advance to the conference tournament March 7-10 in Edwardsville, Illinois.

The Hawks outscored Truman 44-36 in the second half after trailing 33-31 at halftime. Rockhurst went on a 17-3 run to take a 67-59 lead with 3:05 left to play. The Hawks made five free throws in the final 20 seconds to hold off a late rally by the Bulldogs.
 
"Our depth really paid off today," said Rockhurst coach Drew Diener, who was playing without starting forward Quinton Curry. "With the injury to Quinton (in Thursday's win over Quincy) and our foul trouble in the first half, we had multiple guys come in and give us great minutes."
 
Tyler Garrett, Undra Wilson, Eddie Muench and Zach Burch combined for 23 points, 10 rebounds and five assists off the bench.
 
"Our toughness really shined through today again," added Diener. "We guarded with great passion all game long. Offensively, limiting our turnovers in the second half was huge. Curtis was phenomenal making plays in the second half. He really put on a show." 

Lewis made nine-of-10 field goals and sank eight-of-10 free throws in 24 minutes of action. Lewis also had four assists and four rebounds.
 
Nick Volz scored 17 points on seven-of-10 shooting and grabbed five rebounds. Senior forward Connor Evans added four points and eight rebounds in his final home game.
 
Rockhurst shot 54.0 percent from the field (27 of 50) and made seven of 19 three-point shots (36.8 percent).
 
Brodric Thomas led Truman (13-12, 8-7 GLVC) with 18 points. The Bulldogs shot 37.5 percent from the field (21 of 56).
