No. 12 Men’s Basketball Rolls Past Washington, Captures 10th-Straight Victory

CHESTERTOWN, MD - The No. 12  Swarthmore College men's basketball team expanded their win streak to 10 games as they took care of business at Washington College, 97-74, on Thursday night. The Garnet offense led the way with a season-high 97 points.

Vinny DeAngelo paced the Garnet with 23 points, while adding six rebounds, five assists, two steals and four three-pointers made. The junior had another efficient night from the field as he shot 9-of-13.

Colin Shaw was also one of five players to record double-digit points. Shaw finished second on the team with 17 points and grabbed a game-high seven rebounds.

Starters George Visconti and Michael Caprise each added 12 points, respectively, while Aidan Godfrey contributed 10 points off the bench. Visconti also had a perfect shooting night from long range as he went 4-of-4 on three-point attempts.
 


HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Garnet led from the opening possession as Caprise knocked down a jumper to open the scoring. Visconti soon added to the lead with a three-pointer to expand the team's advantage to five points. Later in the quarter, Visconti connected from long range once more as Swarthmore took its first double-digit lead, 16-6, of the contest with 15:06 remaining. 

- After the Shoremen put together a run of their own, Godfrey soon answered back with a three-pointer to capture momentum for the Garnet. DeAngelo and Shaw then added back-to-back buckets as Swarthmore quickly rallied for seven-unanswered points, 26-12. 

- DeAngelo added on to the scoring frenzy with another bucket from beyond the arc at the 7:08 mark. Cal Hanson and Shaw would then add triples later in the half to take a 18-point lead. The Garnet headed into intermission with a 19-point advantage after DeAngelo added a layup before the buzzer, 46-27.

- Caprise opened the second half with a bucket and then added a pair of free throws at the 17:33 mark to put the Garnet ahead by 20 points. Swarthmore led by as many as 26 points after Matt Mulvey scored on a fast-break layup with 1:15 remaining. The Garnet cruised to victory as their lead never dropped below 15 points in the second half.
