Freshman forward DJ Hall put up another stellar performance to bring the Texas State Bobcats (14-11, 7-6 SBC) to a second road game win Wednesday evening, defeating the Georgia Southern Eagles (14-11, 6-6 SBC) 77-71.

The Bobcats and Eagles kept scoring close in the first half, with the largest lead for the Eagles only reaching five points.

The Eagles answered this with a layup from redshirt freshman guard Dwayne Williams Jr. in the final 30 seconds of the first half.

With just under three minutes into the second half, the Bobcats took the lead and never looked back. The Bobcats held onto the lead for the remaining 17 minutes of the game to defeat the Eagles.
