ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- Anthony Brooks scored a career-high 22 points
to lead # 11 Franklin & Marshall to an 80-58 win over
Muhlenberg in a Centennial Conference (CC) men's basketball game
Tuesday night.
Muhlenberg (7-5, 5-1 CC) drops its first CC game with the loss
while the win marks the Diplomats (11-2, 5-1 CC) sixth-straight
victory and puts them in first place in the conference.
The Diplomats led wire-to-wire, opening the game on a 10-2 run.
Muhlenberg came within three points midway through the first half,
before F&M went on a 22-11 run to end the stanza. The Diplomats
took a 38-24 lead into the locker room.
F&M picked up where it left off in the first period,
starting the second half on a 16-5 run to lead by 25 points. The
Mules were able to come within 16 points, but F&M's offense was
too much to handle.
Four players, including Brooks, scored in double figures
for F&M. James McNally scored 18 points, Georgio Milligan added
13 and Mike Baker finished with 12 points. Brooks shot
7-for-11 from the floor, 3-for-4 from behind the arc and 5-for-5
from the line. Baker finished with a double-double collecting 12
rebounds.
The Diplomats' defense caused 22 turnovers resulting in 28
points. Brandon Beckford and Milligan had four steals apiece.
Franklin & Marshall returns to action on Thursday when the
Diplomats host Washington in a spilt double-header. The women (vs.
Bryn Mawr) will tip-off at 6 p.m. followed by the men at 8 p.m.
