SWARTHMORE, Pa.—No. 13 Swarthmore College Men's Basketball battered the Washington College Shoremen 83-51 at home on Tuesday night to open up the Centennial Conference season. The Garnet (3-0) led by 10 at halftime and then poured it on in the second half to dump the Shoremen to 3-2 on the year.

O'Dell completed the double-double by pulling down 12 rebounds as well. O'Dell helped pick apart Washington's 1-3-1 zone defense with some crisp passing and he finished the night with a game-high six assists.

Conor Harkins dropped in 11 points, and George Visconti posted 10 points.

Swarthmore overwhelmed Washington on the glass, out-rebounding the visitors 42-16. Swarthmore's 12 offensive rebounds led directly to 13 second-chance points.
