Brighton extended their winning streak to 18 on Thursday, bumping them up to 22-1. They came within six points of losing the streak, but they secured a 67-61 W against the Erie Tigers. The Bulldogs have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Tigers, too.

Wanrow's evening made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least 16 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Jackson Burke, who posted eight points in addition to seven assists and seven rebounds.
As for Erie, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-11 record this season.

Owen continues to improve, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
