WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Dome Magic is alive and kicking!

Rashad Austin sank a pair of free throws with 1.7 seconds remaining to lift No. 11 Midwestern State to a 78-76 win to cool off Northeastern State Monday night at D.L. Ligon Coliseum.

The win gave the Mustangs their first-ever crossover sweep and kept their 21-game homecourt winning streak alive.

Austin scrambled to control a miss by NSU's Dominique Gaines with 1.7 seconds to go and was fouled in the scrum by Jesse Scroggins. The senior forward from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. calmly sank both free throws to send the Mustangs to 17-1 on the season.

Midwestern had much to overcome as the Mustangs were without top defender Adrian Van Buren, who suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday night's win at Eastern New Mexico.

And Northeastern State came out blazing as the Riverhawks canned 12 3-pointers and led by eight points when Marlon Burnett hit a pair of free throws to give them a 68-60 lead with 5:49 to play.

But Austin sparked a quick 7-0 run with a traditional three-point play before Michael Godwin converted a Jason Ebie steal into a layup. Austin then capped the run by converted a nice feed from Chris Hagan to pull MSU within 68-67 just a minute later.

The Mustangs finally overtook Northeastern State on a Charlie Logan layup with 2:36 to play, but the exchanged buckets before Jason Jones tied the game for the 10th time on a turn around jumper with 58 seconds to play to pull NSU even at 76-76.

The score remained tied until Austin connected on two free throws for the win.

Godwin completed a double-double off of the bench with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Austin added 12 more in a reserve role.

Senior guard Craig Green had 14 points and five assists, while Hagan added 13 points and five assists.

Starters Anthony Moore (4 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists) and Jason Ebie (4 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals) also added solid all-around performances for the Mustangs.

The RiverHawks were paced by junior guard Dominique Gaines' 27-point performance, while Jones finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds.

Midwestern State plays host to Texas A&M-Kingsville Wednesday night at D.L. Ligon Coliseum. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. or 25 minutes after the women's game which begins at 6.

The RiverHawks, who had their seven-game winning streak snapped, fell to 13-6.
