BELTON, Texas – Junior center Staley Mullins (pictured) led the way recording her first double-double of the season, 11 points and 11 rebounds, as Southwestern dropped their second game of the season Saturday afternoon. The Pirates fell to the University of Mary Hardin Baylor 73-52 to fall to 0-2 on the year.

The Crusaders jumped out to a 12-1 lead in the first five minutes of the contest before Southwestern sprung to action and pulled within six, 16-10, just five minutes later. UMHB extended their lead to 19 with just under two minutes left to go in the half and SU pulled within 15 going into halftime after a couple of high-low connections of Mullins to senior Katie Kerns.

The Pirates came out hot in the second half, pulling within 10, 41-31, less than four minutes into the period. UMHB steadily extended their lead, going up by 22 with three minutes remaining before cruising to the win.

Southwestern shot 42.6% from the floor but committed 22 turnovers to UMHB's 17 and the Crusaders made 12 more free throws than the Pirates.

Junior Shae Seagraves led with 16 points while Mullins was the only other Pirate in double digits with 11.

Southwestern will have their first home games after Thanksgiving as the play host to the SU/AC Classic. They face LaGrange on Friday at 5:00 pm and then Otterbein at 5:00 pm on Saturday.
