WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Despite a 20-20 game from Midwestern State University senior Eric Dawson, the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Savage Storm snapped the Mustangs three-game winning streak with a 92-70 victory in Lone Star Conference divisional crossover play Saturday night at Gerald Stockton Court in D.L. Ligon Coliseum.

MSU (3-1) jumped out to a five-point lead in the first four minutes only to see Southeastern go on a 14-2 run over the next five minutes to grab a lead it would never relinquish.

The Mustangs shot only 24 percent in the first half as SOSU built a 17-point 40-23 halftime lead.

MSU trimmed the Savage Storm lead to 10 with a 9-4 run to start the second half, but SOSU answered the call and never let the Mustangs back in the contest.

Dawson, the 6-9 senior from San Antonio/Sam Houston, collected 23 points with 20 rebounds for the first 20-20 game in recent memory for the Mustangs.

Dawson

's 20 boards was the most since Justin James recorded 20 boards against West Texas A&M on Feb. 17, 2005.

Dawson

also blocked eight shots, setting a new MSU school record in the process. He held the old mark with seven swats against Ouachita Baptist in

Hawaii

and

Eastern New Mexico

, both last season.

Junior Chris Davis also chalked up a double-double for MSU, with 19 points and 10 boards, the only other MSU player to score in double figures.

Southeastern was paced by Jason Stampley with 29 points, going 6-of-11 from the three-point arc. Matt White double-doubled with 20 points and 13 boards, while Eric Babers collected 12 points and six boards, with Josh Talley posting 11 points.

MSU's next scheduled action is next Thursday when the Mustangs travel to

Southwestern

Oklahoma

State

for a doubleheader with the MSU women.
