Mules Score Final Nine Points in 69-60 Win Over McDaniel

WESTMINSTER, Md. - Trailing 60-56 with three minutes to play, Muhlenberg scored the game's final 13 points to post a 69-60 victory over the McDaniel College men's basketball team Saturday inside the Gill Center.

The Green Terror (6-8, 2-6 CC), who committed a season-high 18 turnovers, totaled three on their final six possessions while missing their last three shots over the final three minutes.

McDaniel led 60-56 following a three-pointer by graduate student Brendan Kade with 2:52 remaining. However, that would be the team's final points of the game while the Mules went 2-for-2 from the floor and 8-of-8 from the free throw line over the final 2:39 to post their fifth-straight win in Westminster.

Peter Stanton-Shepherd and Giovanni Rubino combined to score 27 of the visitors' 37 second-half points. Stanton-Shepherd went 5-for-5 from the floor, including 2-for-2 from three-point range while Rubino was 6-for-6 at the free throw line.

As a team, Muhlenberg (5-10, 4-4 CC) shot 50.0 percent from the floor in the second half, hit 11-of-22 attempts and 4-of-8 three-pointers. The visitors were also 11-for-14 from the free throw line.

Stanton-Shepherd, Rubino and Luke Gordos combined for 54 of the team's 69 points.

Senior Chuck Contee led the Green Terror with 17 points, five rebounds and five assists while sophomore Jonas Sujeta added 12 points, four rebounds and three assists.

McDaniel welcomes Gettysburg to the Gill Center on Wednesday, Jan. 17 for an 8 p.m. tip-off.
