Beaver Men's Hoops Win!!! |
Beavers WIN... Beavers WIN... Beavers WIN!!!
(Jan 6, 2007) Pasadena, CA - Caltech Men's Basketball won for the first time since Nov. 22, 2004 and ended a 59-game losing streak, rolling past Bard 81-52. The Beavers had been outscored by an average of 36 points in their first 10 games this season after taking a game to overtime in 2005-06.
Sophomore forward Travis Haussler scored 29 points on 12-for-17 shooting to lead Caltech, while Matt Dellatorre added 24. The Beavers used a 21-6 run that spanned the end of the first half and beginning of the second to break open the game.
It was also Caltech's first win against a Division III team since it defeated Principia in the 1995-96 season, a span of 207 consecutive losses. Caltech hasn't won a game in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 21 years, or 245 games. But the 59 was the most important streak, coach Roy Dow told D3hoops.com: "My immediate thing was to try to get a win for this year's group to validate what we're doing. We were playing so poorly over the last week -- we came out of the Christmas break and had a reasonably competitive game with Williams, then got smashed by the other two teams we played (Wisconsin Lutheran and Robert Morris-Springfield)."
Bard (1-10) was led by Demitrius Underwood's 18 points.
There wasn't a particularly raucous celebration, Dow says. "The first two people I saw after shaking hands, was our new president (Jean-Lou Chameau) and his wife. They just got off a 16-hour flight from Singapore. There were a few students, the women's basketball team, a couple faculty members. It wasn't a wild celebration. It was what it was."
The Beavers travel to Occidental on Jan. 10 for its SCIAC opener.
