WINONA, Minn. (AP) -Winona State tied an NCAA Division II record by extending its winning streak to 52 games with an 80-70 victory over Southwest Minnesota State in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference championship game Sunday.

The Warriors equaled the record set by Langston University of Oklahoma, which won 52 straight games with perfect seasons in 1943-44 and 1944-45 and by winning the first five games of the 1945-46 season.

Winona State (30-0) has not lost since Jan. 7, 2006, an 84-79 setback at home to Bemidji State.

John Smith had 23 points and 12 rebounds in the victory over Southwest Minnesota State (20-10).

The Warriors can break the Division II record when they play in the North Central Regional starting Saturday.
