Xavian Rushing scored 21 points to lead the Cougars to a Trico League win on the road.
Delano Morgan and Andrew Olson each scored 13 points. But it was Rushing’s play, including a monster dunk in the second quarter, that spurred Seton (11-3, 3-1).
“He absolutely was pivotal in the middle,” Cougars coach Kris Small said. “He did a great job attacking the rim.”
