Hounds, Zias lose in season finales

Ean Wagner scored 26 points, and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with :50 left in overtime, as Abilene Christian outlasted Eastern New Mexico University 71-65 in a Lone Star Conference matchup Wednesday at Greyhound Arena.

Dante Adams scored 14 and Cameron Holson 13 for the Wildcats, who staved off a late Greyhound rally.

Wagner gave the Wildcats a 61-58 lead on a layup with 1:10 to go, but the Greyhounds tied matters on the next possession, as Dannon Wafer’s offensive rebound led to a trey by Jimmie Marshall with 46 seconds left.

Brandon Wilson scored 17 to lead three Greyhounds (4-23, 0-12 LSC) in double figures in their season finale.

The Greyhounds led by as much as 11 midway through the first, but the Wildcats (9-16, 3-8) closed out the first half on an 8-0 run.

Tommy York scored 12, while Equs Darby flirted with a double-double (11 points, nine rebounds). Wafer had a game-high 10 boards and added eight points.
