SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Darrious Agnew scored 15 points off the bench as Southeast Missouri (2-3) fell to Cal State Fullerton (3-3), 64-57, Wednesday night at the Cable Car Classic.

Agnew played 21 minutes and made 5-of-9 field goals and a near-perfect 4-of-5 at the free throw line. He was one of three Redhawks with double figures in the scoring column.

Both team struggled offensively and neither team led by more than seven.

SEMO tied the game at 40-40 on a layup by Sage Tolbert with 15:16 left to play in the second half.

The Redhawks, however, couldn't take the lead despite pulling within three points or less on six occasions the rest of the way.

Alex Caldwell buried a 3-pointer to narrow CSF's lead to 55-53 with a little over five minutes left, but that was as close as SEMO could get.

The Titans scored baskets on three possessions to widen their lead to 59-53 following Caldwell's trey.

Brandon Kamga's two free throws pushed UCF's lead to seven with 19 seconds to play and the Titans held on.

SEMO trailed, 38-31, at halftime before battling back to tie the game five minutes into the second stanza.

CSU did not make a field goal for the final 3:40 of the contest and SEMO missed nine of its last 10 shots in the game.

Caldwell followed with 11 points, while Tolbert notched a double-double 13 points and 10 rebounds.

The Redhawks shot just 29 percent (9-of-31) from the field in the game's final 20 minutes.

Wayne Arnold pitched in 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead CSF. Austen Awosika added 13 points. CSF shot 51.9 percent (14-of-27) in the first half.
