 Where are they now dept.?
   Tim Harwood(frosh reserve on Muhlenberg last year) now starting for undefeated Salisbury and contributed 12 points in victory over #1 Va. Wesleyan tonite.

[Reserved Seat]

After falling behind early 12-5, F&M turned on the defense and ran off 15 unanswered points.  The Shoremen found it hard to get off any uncontested shots, shooting only 1 of 14 from behind the 3 point line. F&M seemed to have a hand in every shot.
Washington tried double-, triple-, and even once quadruple- teaming Milligan.  F&M ended up with numerous uncontested lay-ups.  Scoring was well-distributed with Milligan with 16, Gyokchyan 15, and Beckford 14.  Olsen lead the Shoremen with 16, getting an easy 10 in the opening minutes.  Hayk, also, added 14 rebounds.  F&M was 0 for 4 on threes.  A solid defensively game keyed the win.

Tough night for the Bears at McDaniel.  The game started one hour late because the bus was stuck in traffic.  The normal 2  1/2 hour drive from Collegeville took 4 1/2 hours due to traffic.  Even with the late start, McDaniel played very well----and the Bears did not.

Ursinus jumped off to an early lead and actually led 35-34 at the half.  The Green started off the second half with a flurry of three point conversions.  For the game, they shot 52 percent from three---13 of 25.  Number 13 hit 7 treys.  Over half of McDaniel's field goal attempts (25 of 49) were threes.  Ursinus converted only 4 threes.  Excellent shooting and spacing by the Green Terror and 22 turnovers by the Bears spelled the difference.  Ursinus held the rebounding advantage 34 to 18.

Give credit to McDaniel,  if they continue to play like that, they will be a contender.

As F&M knows well, it's hard to beat McDaniel away.  It's been a bitter trip to McDaniel the last few years for the Dips.

Happy Thanksgiving Centennial posters!

Eric,

Think I got two right, Hopkins & Gettysburg.  Not great but better.

I am new to the board.  I have been reading it for a few weeks now and thought I might join in when I can.  Seems like a nice group of people on here for the most part.  As you can tell by my name, I am a gettysburg fan!! They picked up a great win without their leading scorer Tuesday over Muhl.  It looked like their young players really came together and got a tough conference opener Win!!  Best of luck to all teams this weekend.  Hopefully gburg gets another good win at York Sunday, hopefully Zurn is back.  Apparently he hit his head on the floor at the end of the Drew game coming down from a rebound.

  Looks like Monday is the Centennial-Landmark challenge round with Haverford, Ursinus, Dickinson playing Catholic, Moravian, and Juniata; good way to kickoff the post-Thanksgiving action.
