Query within meta box

Hey gang,
I’m trying to execute a custom query within a meta box to call titles from a different custom post type. The query works just fine, but for some reason the all-in-one SEO plugin meta box that falls below this one isn’t able to call it’s meta values because, as it would appear, I’ve interrupted the loop and try as I may I can’t figure out how.

I have tried the ol’ store the post in a variable and then recall it after my custom query loop is done, and that didn’t work either.

Here’s what I’m working with:

<?php
		// custom query for all posts in the team area
		$team_query = new WP_Query();

		$args = array( 'post_type' => 'team');
		$team_query -> query( $args);

		while ( $team_query->have_posts() ) : $team_query->the_post();

			echo '<option value="';
			echo the_title();
			echo '">';
			the_title();
			echo '</option>';
		endwhile;
		wp_reset_postdata();
		?>

Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
