HUTCHINSON – Brayan Au’s three pointer with 39 seconds to play propelled Ranger College to a 66-63 win over No. 1 Northwest Florida State.
Ranger moves on to the semifinals tomorrow night. NWFS ends the season at 28-5. The Raiders led by seven points with less that seven minutes to play, but Ranger stormed back to take the lead with two minutes to play. With the game tied at 59, Au hit from the left wing to put Ranger ahead for good. NWFS had a chance to tie the game at the end, but Chris Duarte’s three pointer missed at the buzzer.
Ranger was led in scoring by Jaren English with 24 points and Coryon Mason with 20. The Rangers Play either Coffeyville or Florida Southwester State in the semifinals.
NWFS was led by Duarte with 13 points. Tyrie Jackson, Javion Hamlet and Trey Diggs each scored 11. NWFS shot just 33 percent from the field and, despite a sizable height advantage, only managed seven more rebounds than Ranger.
