    In the third quarter it was more of the same with the Longhorns outscoring Bridgeport by three. Despite Bridgeport turning up the pressure in the fourth quarter, the Longhorns outscored them 12-11 to win the game 47-40 and bring their record to 2-4 on the season.
    Jensen Olsen had a double-double, scoring 17 and pulling down 12 rebounds. Cameron Lempke followed with nine points.
