CHICAGO - The UIC men's basketball weren't the only victors at the UIC Pavilion on Feb. 25th. UIC sophomore Chris Bauer took home the top prize for the evening's best looking mustache.

As the winner of the first annual `Match the Stache' competition, Bauer won a $250 cash prize and a sweet pair of aviator-style sunglasses from the folks at Marketplace Vision (1306 S. Halsted St., Chicago, IL 60607).

Bauer beat out about 15 other entrants in the inaugural contest which was judged by UIC Athletic Director Jim Schmidt, Dr. Eric Baas and Dr. Keith Tyler of Marketplace Vision and Dustin and Wayne from the Barbershop located in Student Center East.
