WESTMINSTER, Md. – Sophomore Ashenafi Stuart hit a three-pointer from half court as time expired to complete a 18-point comeback win for the McDaniel College men's basketball team over Dickinson 66-64 on Saturday for Senior Day.
 
With the win, the Green Terror (15-8, 5-6) moved into sole possession of sixth place in the Centennial Conference standings, improving by a half game over Muhlenberg with two regular season games to play. The top six teams earn bids to the 2026 Centennial Conference Men's Basketball Championship. 
 
The win was the fourth-in-a-row for McDaniel and the team's first four-game winning streak in conference play since 2015-16, when the Green Terror defeated Ursinus, Johns Hopkins, Haverford and Washington College in succession.
 
Before the game, seniors David Kearney, Matt Kearney, Mikey Ayala Jr., Kevin Connelly, Drew Colman, and Kevin Sanon were honored with a pregame ceremony for Senior Day.
 
The Red Devils (6-17, 3-8) jumped out to a 14-5 lead with 13:13 left in the first half. A 7-0 McDaniel run cut the deficit to two, but Dickinson rallied with a 14-3 run of its own to grow the lead to 12, 27-15. The Red Devils earned their largest lead of the half on a fast-break layup with 1:45 to play to go up 18. A three-pointer with 16 seconds left in the half put the visitors up 17 at intermission, 40-23.
 
A Dickinson jump shot at the 16:59 mark of the second half kept the Red Devil lead at 17, but an 8-0 Green Terror run over the next two minutes cut the deficit to nine. Dickinson responded with free throws to increase its lead to 16 with 11:36 remaining. 
 
McDaniel then answered with an 18-0 run over the next six minutes to wipe away the deficit and take a two-point lead, forcing seven Red Devil turnovers and three missed three-pointers during the run. Dickinson tied the game at 59-59 and took the lead with 2:44 left following a made tip-in, but Kearney converted a three-point play to give the lead back to the Green Terror. A three-point play from Dickinson gave the visitors a 64-63 lead with three seconds left in regulation, but Stuart drilled a three-pointer from half court as the buzzer sounded to give McDaniel a thrilling 66-64 win on Senior Day.
 
Kearney led all scorers with 23 points on 7-of-13 shooting, grabbing five rebounds and four steals in the win. Stuart finished with 13 points off the bench, converting 2-of-5 three pointers and totaling six rebounds.
 
The Green Terror travel to Gettysburg on Wednesday to battle the rival Bullets. Tip-off is slated for 8 pm.
