Ethan Eichhorst scored 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds, and Steve Artzer- ounian scored 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds as the Cougars Men’s Basketball team beat Delaware Valley 73-59 Saturday January 21 at Anderson Center on Alumni day.

Matt Greene added 10 points on three three- pointers
in five attempts. After a tightly contested
first half, the Cougars lead 34-31. But they never trailed in the second half, answering every run the Aggies could put together, and with 10 minutes remaining MU’s Matt Greene nailed a three pointer from the top of the key to put the Cougars up 52-41.
