AUGUSTA, Ga. - Augusta State shot 58 percent in the second half Saturday and celebrated Senior Night in style with an 82-55 Peach Belt Conference victory over Lander in Christenberry Fieldhouse.

With the victory, the No. 3 Jaguars wrapped up the regular season with a 25-2 overall record and a 17-1 mark in conference play. The Bearcats, in their first season under head coach Jeff Burkhamer, closed out their season at 11-16 overall and 5-13 in the league.

With the win -- their eighth straight in the series with Lander -- the Jags established a new school record for regular-season victories. The previous mark of 24 was originally set by the 1969-70 squad under former head coach Marvin Vanover.

ASU shot 50 percent for the game and improved to 25-1 in the month of February over the last three seasons. The victory also gave the Jags 17 conference wins for the third year in a row. Over that span, they are 51-7 in the league.

"We came out with emotion on the floor," said ASU head coach Dip Metress, who has guided the Jags to their third straight season of 25 or more wins. "It always happens on Senior Night and tonight we honored five of our guys. It's a great honor and testament to our seniors to remain undefeated at home and to have a regular season like this."

ASU extended its current winning streak to 10 in a row. The Jags stretched their streak of consecutive home victories to 27, including 24 straight in the regular season.

Prior to tipoff, ASU honored its five senior starters -- Fred Brathwaite, Daniel Dixon, Greg Hire, Ben Madgen and Alex Smith -- who have been responsible for a 106-21 record the last four seasons. Smith paced the Jags with 21 points, while sophomore guard Tye Beal registered a new career high with 13 points. Hire booked his third doublefigure game of the season with 11 points.

Brathwaite grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds and Dixon tallied five assists and a pair of steals.
