Jackson Helps SXU Slip Past St. Ambrose, 103-101

Davenport, Iowa – Senior guard Jordan Jackson (Grand Rapids, Mich./Northwood/Wilmington/East Kentwood) posted a team-high 25 points on an efficient 11-for-14 shooting from the field to help Saint Xavier University men's basketball (18-9, 13-6 CCAC) come away with a 103-101 victory over St. Ambrose University (Iowa) in a Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) road contest Wednesday evening at Lee Lohman Arena in Davenport, Iowa. Jackson added three rebounds, an assist and blocked shot before fouling out in the closing seconds. His pair of free-throws with :20 left in regulation gave the Cougars a two-possession lead, allowing two four shots before the Fighting Bees missed the tying free-throw attempts with :02 to go. The win moves SXU into a tie for third place in the CCAC standings with one game remaining in the regular season.
