The Garnet only trailed for 18 seconds of Sunday's game after Arcadia scored after the opening tip. A triple by Ryan Ingram gave Swarthmore an 18-7 lead with 13:04 to play in the first, the team's first double-digit lead.

Arcadia took advantage 20 free-throw attempts in the first half to hang around long enough for it to be a two-possession game at multiple points in the period. Swarthmore, meanwhile, took just one free throw in the half. The Garnet were able to keep some distance with scorching shooting from 3-point range. Swarthmore sank 7-of-11 attempts from deep (63.6 percent) in the first half.

The Garnet shot 51.7 percent from the floor for the whole game and even better from 3-point range, 54.5 percent. The 3-point output is the team's best performance this season. Swarthmore's defense continued to stifle opponents and force bad shots. Opponents are shooting just 37.1 percent from the floor against Swarthmore this year. Arcadia was below that average, with a 35.6 percent mark.

With 13 minutes left in the game, Swarthmore pulled away with an 11-0 run that put them up 66-47. A triple from Harkins with eight minutes remaining bumped Swarthmore's lead to 20.

Swarthmore is back in conference play on Wednesday at 6 p.m. when the Garnet travel to Ursinus College.
