Four Wildcats scored in double-figures and Willan Marie-Anais nearly recorded a double-double, but Abilene Christian could not find a way by Stephen F. Austin, losing 76-71 Wednesday night at Moody Coliseum.
The 51st meeting between the former Southland Conference and WAC foes provided another tight game. After Wednesday, eight of the past 11 meetings have been decided by five or fewer points.
The Lumberjacks pushed their lead to 12 (59-47) with 8:57 to play before ACU began its march. Xabi Lopez scored two layups in a 9-1 Wildcat run to pull within four (60-56). The sides went back-and-forth until Victor Yimga Moukouri, a transfer from Howard College in Big Spring, grabbed an offensive rebound on a missed free throw and laid the ball in to drop the deficit to two with 1:09 left.
After trading pairs of free throws, ACU had a chance with ball and down by three with 0:10 left but a turnover, just one of two in the 2nd half, gave it back to SFA and allowed the Jacks to push their lead out of reach.
Marie-Anais led the Wildcats with 16 points and also grabbed nine rebounds. Isaac Dye dropped in 11 points to go along with two steals. Yimga Moukouri and Evan Boisdur each added 10 with Boisdur dishing out four assists.
ACU shot 41.8% (23/55) from the field and had 10 points from eight SFA turnovers. The Jacks led 10-3 in fast break points.
UP NEXT
The Wildcats travel to Springifled, Mo., to take on Missouri State, which has played three NCAA Division II programs to begin the season. The Bears (3-0) compete in Conference USA and reached the semifinals of the 2025-26 CUSA Tournament. ACU will represent their first Division I competition of the season.Â
