Box Score Junior guard Jack McRoskey poured in a career-high 28 points, including all of his three-point attempts, but it wasn't enough to get Colorado College its first victory of the season. 
 
Southwestern University connected on 15 of 25 three-point attempts and left Reid Arena with an 81-67 victory.
 
McRoskey shot 77 percent from the floor, making 10 of his 13 shots overall and all three of his long-range efforts. He also sank all five of his free-throw attempts. 
 
"Tremendous effort by our student-athletes and everyone surrounding them this weekend," head coach Jeff Conarroe said. "The scoreboard does not tell the true story and hopefully we can learn from this."
