Sewanee junior Jorden Williams from Chattanooga and McCallie School was the Southern Athletic Association's first men's basketball player of the week for the 2015-16 season, but Tuesday night he and his teammates lost 80-61 at Covenant.
The Sewanee women hosted Covenant and won 75-68 with a 24-8 fourth quarter.
Williams won the SAA honor after matching his college high with 29 points in the Tigers' season-opening 93-73 win over Huntingdon on Friday. He made eight 3-point shots for another career high. Williams had scored 20 points with six 3s in the exhibition loss at Division I member Austin Peay on Thursday.
He had only seven points Tuesday, though, going 3-of-14 from the field and 1-of-8 on 3-pointers. Sewanee led 37-33 early in the second half, but Covenant (2-0) shot 68.2 percent from the field after halftime and pulled away after the 10th lead change of the night.
T.J. Cox and Berto Dryden scored 16 and 14 points, each making three of six 3-point shots, and added four assists apiece for the Scots, who got 11 points from Connor Sears and seven rebounds from Will Portlock. Keshonn Carter and Seth Brown scored 12 points each for Sewanee, which shot 38.6 percent to Covenant's 54 percent for the game.
While the men were playing on Lookout Mountain, the same schools' women's teams were playing on Sewanee Mountain, and the home team won there, too.
Corey Caulder had 26 points with four 3s and 16 rebounds - seven on the offensive backboards - for Sewanee (2-1), while Jamie Chauvin had 14 points and nine rebounds and Bella Taylor contributed eight steals with nine points. For the Lady Scots (1-1), Kaley Hallmark and Aleigha Williams each scored 14 points and Rachel Price and Joanna Smith had 12 and 11 points and eight and nine rebounds.
