Men's team downed by DoC

Boxscore

Kutztown 79
Dist. of Columbia 81

The KU men's basketball team erased a 15 point second half deficit at District of Columbia last night, but fell 81-79 in overtime.

Dave Ben led all scorers with 23 points in the non-conference affair. The loss drops KU to 12-6 overall season, but does not affect their 4-0 PSAC East-leading record.

Ryan Washington had a double-double for the Golden Bears, scoring 19 points and grabbing 13 boards. Steve Coffey added 10 points off the bench, while Jeremy Coombs added 9.

KU leading scorer Stephen Dennis missed his second straight game, but will look to be back in action on Saturday when KU welcomes Cheyney [11-6 (4-1)] to Keystone Hall. The game matches the top 2 teams in the PSAC East.
