KEUKA PARK, N.Y. - Gallaudet University's win streak continues as the Bison added two more victories here Saturday over North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) foes. The Bison dispatched Wells College, 3-1, before holding off Keuka College, 3-2.

Gallaudet (10-20, 6-2 NEAC), who has won five straight matches, moves into a tie for second place in the NEAC standings heading into the final two weeks of league play.
