HAVERFORD, Pa. – Delaware Valley men's basketball got behind early and was never able to get back to even, falling to Haverford College 75-64 on Tuesday evening.

Antonio Reading got the Aggies on the scoresheet with the Fords stretching a 7-2 lead three minutes in. Five minutes later, down by 13, Brendon Bradford put in a pair of free throws, followed by two from Mike Herrin. Thirteen of the Aggies' first 15 points came at the charity stripe, where DelVal shot 94.7 percent through the first 20 minutes. JT Wright ended that stretch with a bucket off a Herrin assist. Kamal Johnson split a pair of Haverford threes with a driving layup as the Fords pushed the lead to 14. After a Johnson steal, Redding knocked down a three with four minutes left before the teams traded trips up and down the floor. Herrin then scored eight straight points, pulling DelVal within two before Uremovich hit a jumper at the buzzer.

Herrin continued his streak out of the break, finishing a layup. Both teams traded turnovers before Herrin scored again, and Jordan Strickland was sandwiched between a Haverford three from Strong-Jacobson two minutes in. Kilic ended a scoreless stretch for the Fords, but Herrin answered with another layup, keeping the Aggies within six as coach Kaba called a timeout. Wright ended a brief 5-0 Haverford run as Jake McGinty came up with a steal and later recorded a block. Herrin grabbed a board and found Zach Smith, who knocked down a three before Strickland hit back-to-back buckets with a Haverford three by Noal in between. Kilic connected again from long range, extending the Fords' lead to 64-56.

Redding hit a jumper, and Strickland added points at the line to cut into the deficit, and Johnson converted a three-point play with 1:30 left. Forced to foul late, the Aggies couldn't get another basket to fall in the final minute.

Following the loss, the Aggies drop to 3-3 overall and will next take on (RV) York College on Saturday, Dec. 6.
