Box Score

Sophomore Nick Rindock scored a career-high 25 points to support an outstanding defensive effort as the Muhlenberg men's basketball team rolled past McDaniel, 68-48, for its third win in four games.

The Mules (6-6, 3-3) held the Green Terror (5-7, 2-4) to 38.3-percent shooting and limited the second-leading scorer in the Centennial Conference to seven points - 10 below his average.

On the other end of the floor, Muhlenberg shot nearly 50 percent and was a blistering 8-of-12 from three-point range.

Leading the charge was Rindock (pictured at left), who was 3-for-5 from behind the arc and nearly singlehandedly turned the game around late in the first half. The Mules trailed 19-16 with six minutes to go before closing out the half on a 16-2 run to open up an 11-point lead. Rindock scored all but two of the 16 points, making all six of his field-goal attempts during the surge.

McDaniel cut the gap to eight twice in the second half, the last at 53-45 with six minutes left, but Muhlenberg closed strong, scoring the next 10 points to put the game out of reach. Junior John Hunter, who scored 11 of his 12 points in the second half, began the run with a three-point play, and sophomore Owen McLeod (pictured above) ended it with another three-point play.

Junior Brandon LaRose finished with nine points, and sophomore Kevin Miller made both of his three-point tries. Junior Jon Schreer recorded a game-high five assists.
