Perseverance pays off

There is always hope.

Those brainy Beavers of Caltech finally won an NCAA basketball game, ending an 11-year streak of futility. Travis Haussler had 27 points and eight rebounds, and Matt Dellatorre added 24 points and eight rebounds Saturday night to lead the California Institute of Technology to an 81-52 victory over Bard College of New York.

The win halted a 207-game NCAA Division III losing streak, dating to 1996.
