Morgan State Bears Knocks Off WSSU Rams for 11th Straight Win

Coach Todd Bozeman Bears continues to roll -- to 19th win of season (19-7, 10-0 MEAC).

BALTIMORE, Md. – Reggie Holmes scored 26 points in Morgan State’s 79-65 win over non-conference opponent Winston-Salem State on Saturday that extended the Bears’ winning streak to 11 games. “We’re happy about the victory,” Morgan State coach Todd Bozeman said after the Bears (19-7, 10-0) improved to 8-0 at Hill Field House this season. “You value any win you get in Division I, the tough part is playing a team like this (non-conference) in the middle of your conference season. I’m just glad we were able to pull through.”

Morgan State jumped out to an early 7-2 lead, but the Rams woke up and trimmed the lead to 13-10 with 12:23 left in the first half. DeWayne Jackson ignited a 10-3 spurt by scoring seven points during a four minute stretch to help give the Bears a 23-13 lead. The Bears went into the intermission with a 42-24 lead. Holmes, who entered the game ranked among the nation's leading scorers (22.2 ppg), dropped in 15 points in the first half, and surpassed Yarharborough Roberts as the No. 3 all-time leading scorer in Morgan State history. The senior finished the contest with 26 points (13-15 FT) and has amassed 1,837 points for his career.
