Muhlenberg men's basketball senior Nick Rindock tied his season high of 21 points in an 85-63 defeat to Johns Hopkins.
 
Rindock made 7-of-13 shots, including 3-of-5 three-pointers and 4-of-6 free throws, while collecting four rebounds and four assists. The senior elevated his career points total to 927 in the process, and he is seven rebounds away from 400 and four assists from 200 for his career.
 
Senior Owen McLeod, junior Brendan Hughes and sophomore Matt Gnias each added nine points, and junior Erik Werheim led the Mules (7-9, 5-5 CC) with six rebounds.
 
Rindock started the game with his first three-point make, and layups from senior JeanLee Baez and freshman Spencer Duke helped Muhlenberg maintain a lead through the first three minutes of the game. Hughes (pictured above) then added his first trey of the night to make it 10-7, but the Blue Jays (13-4, 7-3 CC) tied the game with a three-pointer of their own and then took their first lead with a jumper.
 
Gnias evened the score again with a layup, and Rindock converted a jump shot after three Hopkins free throws to keep the Mules within one. The Blue Jays, however, scored the next 15 points to build a lead that Muhlenberg could not overcome.
 
Hopkins came into the contest ranked fourth in Division III in scoring defense (61.4 points per game). The Mules did win the turnover battle, 19-17, and now have fewer turnovers than their opponents in 10 of their last 11 games.
