Gwynedd Mercy University (13-2, 2-1) eased past the University of Valley Forge (6-8) in Monday night's 94-48 final as dominant ratios in rebounds (49-39), turnovers (11-23), and a 27.6% (16-of-58) Patriot shooting percentage precipitated the lopsided score. Harris hit 8-of-9 (.889) from the floor - including 5-of-6 (.833) from three-point range - in his first start for the Red and Gold; he headlined four Griffins in double figures with a career-high 21 points and also recorded six rebounds, an assist, and a steal.
An unprecedented unbeaten streak came to an end on Wednesday, January 15, as Gwynedd Mercy University fell on the short side of tonight's 78-72 AEC final with Marymount University (9-6, 3-0). Despite a 34-29 Griffin rebounding advantage, the Saints' first-half shooting - 6-of-13 (.462) from three-point range - was enough to earn the visitors a 34-27 halftime advantage and their 11-of-14 (.786) second-half free throw clip was enough to deny any Red and Gold reprise. Harris finished with seven points, a rebound, and a steal.
Harris was also 4-of-6 (.667) from long range in an 81-54 loss at Salisbury University (13-5). The Sea Gulls built on a 35-25 halftime advantage with a 46-29 second-half spread that saw the Griffin offense stall behind 15 turnovers, a 37.5% (21-of-56) performance from the field, and just four chances at the free throw line (3-of-4, .750); sophomore guard Mazen Sayed (Chichester, Pa.) hit all three of those free throws while coming off the Red and Gold bench for a team-high 15 points. Harris finished with 14 points, a rebound, and an assist.
Gwynedd Mercy University continues their AEC schedule on Wednesday, January 22, when they host Centenary University (N.J.) for an 8:00 p.m. tip-off.
