CLEVELAND -- Alec Peters scored 15 with 10 rebounds, and Tevonn Walker scored 13 to help Valparaiso beat Cleveland State 66-43 Tuesday night.
Valparaiso, which lost 61-59 to Wright State last Saturday, improved to 10-0 in games following a loss since closing the 2013-14 season with back-to-back losses.
