STEVENSON, MD - McDaniel College used a 6-0 spurt in the final minutes to
take control of a close game and defeat Washington College, 91-85, in the
third-place game of the Pride of Maryland Tournament this afternoon at Villa
Julie College in Stevenson, MD.  The Green Terror improved to 2-1 with the
win, while the Shoremen slipped to 1-2 with the loss.

McDaniel led by as many as nine points in the first half following a pair of
free throws by Mike Dipiero with 5:07 to play that gave the Green Terror a
38-29 advantage, but Washington sliced the lead to 41-38 by halftime. The
Shoremen came out hot in the second half, scoring the first eight points to
take a 46-43 lead on a lay-up by senior forward Jonathan Webb (Milford,
DE/Milford) with 17:49 to go.  McDaniel responded with five straight points
to retake the lead and later led by nine points at 60-51 following a jumper
by Ryan Finch with 13:18 to go.

Washington came back to regain the lead two more times and the score was tied
at 77-77 following a Webb lay-up with 3:09 left.  McDaniel's Mike Dipiero
drained a three on the ensuing possession to give the Green Terror the lead
for good at 80-77.  McDaniel held an 81-77 lead with 2:05 to play before a
steal and lay-up by the Green Terror's Chris Rutland pushed the lead to six
with 2:01 left.  McDaniel led by at least four points the rest of the way.

Will Talesnick scored 24 points on 8-for-9 shooting from the field, including
a 4-of-5 performance from beyond the three-point line and dished out five
assists to lead the way for the Green Terror.  Mike Dipiero tallied a
double-double of 10 points and 10 assists and was named to the All-Tournament
Team.  Ryan Finch added 21 points, while Chad Arrington scored 14 points and
grabbed a team-high nine rebounds.

Webb led all players with 28 points and 10 rebounds for Washington.  Senior
forward Scott Polyniak (Lake Shore, MD/Mount St. Joseph) scored a career-high
20 points and grabbed seven rebounds, while freshman guard Tim Kohlrus
(Fairfax, VA/W.T. Woodson) tallied a career-high 14 points.  Senior guard
Kyle Stem (Lincoln University, PA/Salesianum, DE) was named to the
All-Tournament Team and finished the game with nine points and a team-high
five assists.

McDaniel shot 49% from the field, while Washington shot 43%.  The Shoremen
held a 48-38 advantage on the boards, but the Green Terror's eight
three-pointers in the game helped offset that differential.

The Shoremen return to action Tuesday with their home opener, a 7:30 p.m.
game against Eastern Shore rival Salisbury.
