Capers head coach Matt Skinn said some mistakes late in the fourth quarter were costly.
"We got it to within three or four at the end and lost our cool a bit down the stretch, took a technical foul and took a couple of hard fouls there and that really sealed the game," he said. "We were right there and just lost our cool."
William Donkoh scored a game-high 16 points for the X-Men. Cameron Walker fired 13 and Jordan Clarke added 11.
The Capers trailed the game 29-23 at the half. Their record falls to 3-6 on the season, and they sit in sixth place in the AUS.
