AUSTIN, Texas – Ephriam Price III, behind a 24-point first half performance, powered the Concordia Texas men's basketball team past Sul Ross State on Thursday, 95-94, to snap their two-game losing streak.

Price III finished with 31 points on the night, shooting 69 percent from the field, including knocking down five three-pointers. It is the third straight game Price III has scored at least 30 points for the Tornados.

In the final 9:47 of the game, the lead would never grow larger than three points as CTX and the Lobos went back and forth.

The Tornados, down one with seven seconds to play, would go to Ben Page, who would get fouled on the way up for a layup. At the line, Page would knock both free throws to give CTX a 95-94 lead.

On the ensuing possession, the Tornados would force SRSU into a tough shot and it was no good at the buzzer as CTX held on for the win.

Page would finish the game with 15 points and brought down 11 rebounds for his third double-double of the season. Ronnie Hamilton, meanwhile,
tallied a career-high 10 assists along with nine points.

Joe Neal, would inch closer to the 1000-point mark, scoring eight points on the night to bring him within two points of the milestone.

The Tornados will return to the court on Saturday when they will take on Howard Payne at 4 p.m. inside Concordia Fieldhouse.
