ALLENTOWN, Pa.—With a well-balanced scoring attack featuring five players in double-digits, Swarthmore College Men's Basketball took down the Muhlenberg College Mules on Wednesday night.

Swarthmore improved to 13-3 (7-2 Centennial) with the 76-62 win. Muhlenberg dropped to 7-8 (4-5 Centennial).
Matt Brennan led the Garnet with 14 points. Sam Lebryk and Zack Yonda each put up 13 points. Robbie Walsh scored 11 points as did freshman reserve Henry Cousineau.

Sean Thaxter added eight points and a team-high eight rebounds.

Both teams shot similar numbers from 3-point range and overall. Swarthmore shot 42.4 percent from the floor and 42.9 percent from long range, slightly better than Muhlenberg's 41.8 percent from the floor and 41.7 percent from downtown.

Muhlenberg held a six-point lead six minutes in, but Swarthmore stormed back with a 12-0 run to take the 17-13 lead. The lead stuck the rest of the game for the Garnet. With 90 seconds left in the half, Lebryk canned a 3-pointer to put Swarthmore ahead by eight. Swarthmore recovered the next possession from the Mules with a Yonda steal that led to a Thaxter jump shot, giving Swarthmore a 37-27 halftime lead.

The Garnet's double-digit lead continued for the majority of the second half and even reached as high as 19 points with 14:39 to play on a Cousineau 3-pointer.

Swarthmore committed a season-low eight turnovers on Wednesday and forced 18 Muhlenberg turnovers.

Swarthmore's road trip is scheduled to continue on Saturday afternoon at Gettysburg College.
