CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio -- WVU Tech men's basketball, who were picked No. 11 in this week's NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll, had their 11-game winning streak snapped at Ohio Christian University Tuesday evening with a score of 69-64 in River States Conference (RSC) play. The Golden Bears now hold a record of 20-6, 12-2 (RSC) while the Trailblazers boost their record to 16-12, 10-5 (RSC).

Tech is still holding on to the top spot of the East Division of the conference while the Trailblazers sit at No. 3 at 2.5 games back.

No. 12 Indiana University East, who the Gold and Blue will travel to face this Saturday in Richmond, Indiana, is 1.0 game back at No. 2. When the two teams met earlier this season, Tech defeated IU East, 85-81, on December 17 in Montgomery, West Virginia.

The Golden Bears saw freshman Junior Arrey and juniors Michael Scott and Ryan Atkins pour in ten points each to lead the team. Atkins finished with six rebounds while Scott and Arrey had three each.

Junior Elisha Boone led the team with nine rebounds to go with nine points and a team-high four assists. Fellow classmate Kievonn Banks marked nine points and six rebounds.

Ohio Christian was led by Marquis Jackson who had a game-high 20 points while Gary Hoover led the Trailblazers under the boards with nine rebounds.

The team was held to just 32.4 percent (23-for-71) shooting from the field and 25.9 percent (7-for-27) from three-point range. Tech did hold the advantage in rebounds, 42-37.
