Paine inches past Stillman for 10th consecutive win

AUGUSTA, Georgia -- With another win against a tough conference opponent, Paine’s hot streak has reached historic proportions within the program.

A look toward the Lions bench shows the streak just needed a little stylish good luck.

Paine raced to a big lead and held it late, knocking off Stillman 71-68 on Saturday at the HEAL Complex.

The victory was Paine’s 10th in a row, matching the program’s longest winning streak since the 1993-94 season. That year’s team remains the only one ever ranked in program history on its way to a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title.

The win was also Paine’s (11-3, 7-0 SIAC) second in three days against a division-leading opponent after beating Lane on Thursday.
