BELTON — At halftime, it looked as if the Crusaders could face a second straight loss. But who remembers halftime scores?
Trailing 32-31 at the break, Mary Hardin-Baylor forced five turnovers and scored 13 unanswered points in the first 3:12 of the second half and finally put Howard Payne away late in the 10th-ranked Cru’s 83-62 win Thursday at the Mayborn Campus Center.
