BENNINGTON, VT (December 2, 2007) -- Led by a career-high 20 points from junior Joe Davis (East Amherst, NY), Vassar's men's basketball team won its sixth straight game -- and the fourth in this week -- with an 84-57 victory over Southern Vermont College Sunday afternoon. The victory improves the Brewers, who were playing their final game of the semester, to 7-1 on the season. Vassar next plays on January 12 with a road game against Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts.

Davis eclipsed a pair of 19 point career highs set against Clarkson and Hobart last season in tallying his 20 points on 7 of 8 shooting from the field. He was part of a Brewers team that built a 39-26 lead at the half, and shot 59.3 percent from the floor for the game. With those two ingredients, Southern Vermont never got untracked, falling to 1-5 on the season.
