LIBERTY, Mo. – Truman State pulled away from William Jewell after seeing a 15-point halftime lead evaporate to finish Saturday's Bulldog sweep over the Cardinals, 65-55.
 
Down to the 'Dogs 33-18 at half, Jewell evened the affair at 48 with 8:19 remaining to recover from 28.5 percent first half shooting from the floor. Junior forward Brennan Lovette sank a three out of Truman State timeout after sophomore guard Kobi Williams corralled an offensive rebound on a missed three by redshirt sophomore guard Casen Lawrence to right the ship.
 
Williams led Truman State with 15 points and season-highs in rebounds (9) and assists (3). Lovette scored 14 with six boards while senior guard Trey Shearer recorded 14 points with a season-high seven rebounds.
 
Truman State is now 12-8 overall, 6-6 in Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) play while William Jewell falls to 6-14, 3-9 GLVC. Thursday, Feb. 6 marks a return to Pershing Arena for the Bulldogs with a 7:30 tip off against Drury (Mo.).
