WESTMINSTER, Md. - Louis Sarris-Grau (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Lower Moreland) recorded a career-high 21 points and added 10 rebounds for his second double-double of the season, leading McDaniel to a 69-44 victory over Haverford in Centennial Conference (CC) men's basketball action on Tuesday.

Michael Jarboe (Monrovia, Md./Urbana) and Miguel Jones (Baltimore, Md./North County) added 15 and 11 points, respectively, for the Green Terror (7-5, 3-2 CC), who recorded its first victory by more than nine points this season and snapped its three-game skid in the process.

Cameron Baker led the Fords (4-8, 2-4 CC) with 12 points.

Joseph Potucek (Germantown, Md./St. Johns at Prospect Hall) staked McDaniel to a 2-0 lead just 1:50 into the game and Jarboe connected on a 3-pointer 68 seconds later to make it a 5-0 game and the Green Terror never trailed.

Ian Goldberg answered Jarboe's triple with a trey of his own to get Haverford on the board.

Clinging to a 9-7 lead, Jones hit a free with 13:12 to play in the first half to spark an 11-2 run that gave the hosts their first double-digit lead of the game with 7:26 showing.

A Mitch Belella (Smithsburg, Md./Maria Goretti) layup in the final minute of the half stretched the lead to 33-16 at the break.

A pair of Jarboe free throws 4:10 into the second half swelled the lead to 23 at 41-18.

The Fords got as close as 17 when a Alex Zandi layup made it a 59-42 game with 2:55 to play but McDaniel tallied 10 of the game's final 12 points for a 25-point victory.

Sarris-Grau added five assists and four steals while Jarboe chipped in four helpers and three swipes.
