WORCESTER, Mass. --- Sophomore forward MIKE BALDARELLI (Sutton, MA/Holy Name) scored a season-high 26 points including six three-pointers as Assumption College ran past the University of New Haven, 75-57, in a Northeast-10 Conference men's basketball game TUESDAY in the Laska Gym.

Baldarelli, who nearly outscored the entire New Haven teama with 21 first-half points led the Greyhounds to a 40-22 halftime advantage.

The Hounds are now 16-7 overall and 13-5 in the Northeast-10 Conference. They are in third-place, two games behind first-place Bentley (15-3) and a game behind UMass Lowell (14-4). They host the River Hawks Saturday in the Laska Gym at 3:30 p.m. New Haven is now 7-16 overall and 5-13 in the conference.
