LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Coming off an exciting victory in a huge Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division battle on Saturday, the Lock Haven men's basketball team is set to host Kutztown University inside Thomas Fieldhouse on Wednesday, Feb. 7.
 
The Bald Eagles lone contest of the week is Wednesday vs. Kutztown, starting at 7:30 p.m.
 
The Haven downed KU on the road, 78-72, earlier this season.
 
Lock Haven, who is tied for second-place in the PSAC East with Millersville, enters Wednesday with an impressive mark in conference (12-3) and overall (14-6).
 
The Haven has already clinched a spot in the PSAC Postseason Tournament and now has its sites set on the top seed, where they only sit one game behind ESU, who they defeated earlier this season.
 
Lock Haven's previous win streak of 10 straight games was snapped at Millersville last Wednesday, but the Bald Eagles look to begin another streak in front of their home crowd, where they are currently 7-1.
 
Lock Haven continues to receive votes in the D2CSC Atlantic Region Top-10 Poll released today, and is primed to crack the list with another strong week.
