Two Reach 1,000; Garnet Dodge Brooklyn In NCAAs

SWARTHMORE, Pa.--No. 1 Swarthmore College Men's Basketball advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth season in a row following an 85-51 victory Friday night over the Brooklyn College Bulldogs.

The Garnet (27-1) shot 57.1 percent from the field while holding the visiting Bulldogs to just a 31.3 percent shooting night.

Five Garnet players scored in double digits again displaying Swarthmore's well-rounded scoring attack. Conor Harkins, who, after some statistical investigation, entered the night needing four points to reach 1,000, crossed that threshold with a 3-pointer in the second half and finished with 15 points. George Visconti also tied him for the team-high while shooting 6-of-8 from the floor and 3-for-4 from deep.

Zac O'Dell was remarkably efficient, cementing a double-double in just 18 minutes of play with 10 points and 13 rebounds.

Colin Shaw and Ryan Ingram each shot 4-for-8 and finished with 10 points.

Nate Shafer, who tallied six points and eight rebounds, reached 1,000 points for his career with that sixth point, a powerful layup with just over five minutes left in the first.

Harkins and Shafer join teammate O'Dell as members of Swarthmore's 1,000-point club, a list 26 members strong.

The Garnet never trailed and led by as many as 37 points.

Swarthmore will face Ithaca College in Saturday night's 7:30 p.m. second-round game. Ithaca knocked off Babson College in overtime earlier on Friday night in Tarble Pavilion.
