PHOENIX --- The Western Oregon men's basketball team had its three-game win streak snapped by undefeated Western New Mexico 64-58 on Tuesday at The Phhacility.

The Wolves (3-2) and Mustangs (6-0) battled back and forth threw the first 28 minutes of the contest as WOU took its final lead of the game when Jahville Collins drained a 3-pointer with 12:28 left to make it 43-40 Wolves.

But turnovers and four consecutive possessions helped WNMU go on an 11-1 run over the next three minutes - capped by a pair of Tony Avalos free throws with 9:21 remaining to make it 51-44.

WOU got it into within a possession game one more time as a Cameron Benzel bucket in the paint made it 57-54 Mustangs with 3:11 remaining. But WNMU answered with a basket 15 seconds later and the Wolves never got closer the rest of the contest.

It was a tough shooting day from the field for the Wolves, shooting 31.7 percent from the field (the team was above 58 percent from the field heading into the game), including going 4-for-24 from 3-point range. Going 16-for-17 from the line did help WOU stay in it.

Benzel paced the Wolves, picking up a double-double with 19 points, 10 rebounds, four blocks and two steals. Yosani Clay nearly had a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds.

WOU is off now until starting GNAC play at Central Washington on Dec. 1.
