Pasadena, Calif. - Senior guard Joe Eyen (pictured) had a career-high 17 points, matching senior guard Michael Cohen for team-high honors, as the Pomona-Pitzer Men's Basketball team captured a 63-55 road win over Caltech on Tuesday evening. 

The win was the third in the row for the Sagehens, who improve to 5-12 overall and 3-5 in the SCIAC. Caltech slips to 1-17 overall and 0-8 in the SCIAC with the loss. 

Eyen and Cohen both were injured since Dec. 13 but returned to action for the last three games, all victories. Gibson Farone-Collins, who had 12 points agianst Caltech, also missed the last three Pomona-Pitzer losses (Cal Lutheran, Whittier and Chapman) before returning for the dramatic 58-57 win over Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on Saturday.  

It appeared that the Sagehens would have no drama this evening, as they roared out to a 31-11 lead in the first half. Pomona-Pitzer led by 16 at the half (36-20) behind 14 Eyen points, and still led by 17 (55-48) with 8:45 left after a Cohen three-pointer. Caltech rallied, though, with nine straight points and closed to within 56-49, before Eyen knocked down a three-pointer to stop the momentum.

The Beavers closed to within 59-52, but Farone-Collins and senior guard Adrian Brandon answered with lay-ups to put the game away.

Andrew Hogue had 18 points and 10 rebounds for Caltech, which held a 37-31 edge on the boards. The Sagehens had 12 steals on the day, led by four from Cohen, while the Beavers had only one.

Pomona-Pitzer is back in action on Saturday when it hosts nationally ranked Chapman, which is 16-0 heading into a Thursday night game at Cal Lutheran.
