Romeoville, Ill. - The Lewis University men's basketball team extended its winning streak to six games as the host Flyers stifled Missouri S&T for the 77-64 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory on Senior Day at Neil Carey Arena on Saturday (Feb. 14) afternoon.

The Flyers held the Miners to 33.9% (20-for-59) shooting from the floor and swatted a season-high 11 shots. This is the fourth-straight game that Lewis has held its opponents to less than 40% shooting and it's the most blocks by a Flyer squad since they had 11 against Saint Joseph's on February 6, 2011.

With the win, Lewis improves to 18-6 overall and 10-5 in GLVC action, while the visiting Miners are now 9-14 on the campaign and 2-13 in conference play.

Lewis senior point guard Jeff Jarosz (Lyons, Ill./Morton) led all scorers with 19 points on 7-for-10 shooting and added a team-best four assists. Senior Ryan Jackson (Bolingbrook, Ill./Riverside-Brookfield) collected 17 points and four assists, while freshman swingman Max Strus (Hickory Hills, Ill./Stagg) had 15 points, on 5-for-7 shooting, and nine rebounds.

Missouri S&T junior forward Clement Bonardo topped the Miners with 14 points, while sophomore guard Danylo Zuikov and junior forward Michael Nesbitt each chipped in 13 in the loss.

Lewis returns to action on Thursday (Feb. 19), as they head to the state capital for a 7:30 PM showdown against UIS.
