Men's Basketball Beats Southwestern in SCAC Regular Season Finale

Georgetown, Texas - The Trinity Tigers men finished their regular-season SCAC campaign with a 58-49 win over the Southwestern Pirates Friday night.

Trinity improved to 12-12 and 9-7 SCAC, and is tied with Southwestern (16-9, 9-7 SCAC) for second place in the conference West Division. The Tigers earlier qualified for the eight-team SCAC Tournament Feb. 26-28 at Millsaps in Jackson, Miss. Trinity has one more game to go in the regular season, a 6 p.m. non-conference tilt Saturday in Irving, Texas, with the University of Dallas.

Tiger junior forward Luke Caldarera of Houston (Katy Taylor), registered a double-double, with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Caldarera, who previously went over the 900 career points mark, shot 6-18 from the field, and sank 8-10 free throws.

Senior forward Bryant Wilson of Dallas (Jesuit College Prep), contributed 18 points on 4-7 shooting, all from beyond the arc. Wilson also sank 6-6 free throws.

Peter Garatoni, a senior post from San Antonio (MacArthur), had 10 rebounds in the game. Sophomore guard Ryan Beall of Santa Barbara, Calif. (Dos Pueblos), dished out five assists.

Southwestern, which beat Trinity 78-56 on Dec. 3 in San Antonio, was paced by Travis Barber and Jonathan Brown, with 15 points each.

Trinity held a 29-26 halftime lead. The Pirates, down by as much as seven points in the second half, pulled to within three 33-36, at the 9:34 mark. Two free throws by Caldarera started a 22-16 scoring advantage by the Tigers. Southwestern did close to four points (39-43, 5:33), but a layup by Garatoni widened the lead to keep Trinity in control.

Each team shot 30 percent from the field, but Trinity hit 37 percent from 3-point range, to 19 percent by Southwestern. The Tigers led 43-39 in rebounding.
