IOLA, Kan.- In the same fashion as the women before them, the Beaver men halted a five-game losing streak after a 87-74 win on the road against Allen Community College.

As he tends to do, Malcolm Whitlow led Pratt in scoring with 28 points, as the Nebraska native was 7-15 from the field, including 2-4 from long range. Whitlow did most of his work at the free throw line, making 12 of his 14 tries. He also had a game-high eight assists, as well as three rebounds and two steals. 

Tommy Thomas and Nasan Ayala each managed 11 points, while Cam Morris posted 10 points off of the bench. Harrison Eghan snatched a season-high 13 rebounds to go with seven points and four assists. 

Pratt's offense shot 44% (32-72), a figure to build on as the Beavers have shot only 38% on the season. The Beavers also had a season-low nine turnovers compared to Allen's 15. With the help of Whitlow, Pratt's work from the free throw line was also a season best, as Coach Flynn's crew was 18-23 from the charity stripe. 

A narrow 42-39 halftime lead was gradually extended throughout the half, as the Red Devils were never able to completely halt the Beavers momentum. 

Pratt is back in action on Saturday, with a home matchup against Cowley County scheduled for 7:30 pm.
