EAST STROUDSBURG - Senior forward Rasheed Moore (11 points) and redshirt sophomore forward Chris Bing (10 points, 8 rebounds) led a balanced scoring effort as East Stroudsburg University posted a 92-58 win over Millersville in PSAC East men's basketball on Saturday afternoon at Koehler Fieldhouse.

ESU (16-6, 14-3 PSAC) kept pace with Shippensburg (19-2, 15-2) and Kutztown (18-2, 14-2) in the PSAC East standings entering its "bye" date on Wednesday. The Warriors are back in action next Saturday at West Chester, then have a trip to Kutztown (Feb. 15) and a home game vs. Shippensburg (Feb. 22) among their final four games of the regular season.

Ten Warriors scored at least six points and 12 handed out at least one assist as ESU topped 90 points for the 10th time this season while placing just two players in double figures.

ESU entered as the PSAC's top scoring team (89.2 ppg) and won the first meeting at Millersville, 119-87, on January 6.

The victory gives ESU at least 16 wins in 12 consecutive seasons, extending the PSAC's longest active streak.

Moore, seventh in the PSAC with 17.9 points per game, had his 19th double-figure scoring game in 21 outings. He became ESU's fifth 1,500-point scorer (currently 1,523) in Wednesday's 126-60 win vs. Cheyney, the highest-scoring game in school history.

Bing was two rebounds shy of his third double-double in the last six games, averaging 9.3 points and 8.5 rebounds in that stretch. He also tied his career-high with three blocked shots.

Three Warriors scored nine points each - sophomore guard Kitt Najee Walls, redshirt sophomore guard Jakwan Jones and junior guard Ryan Krawczeniuk, who hit consecutive three's in a 25-second span late in the first half.
