EAST STROUDSBURG - Redshirt senior forward Steve Harris scored 16 of his 19 points in the first half as East Stroudsburg University blitzed Seton Hill, 109-85, in PSAC men's basketball on Saturday afternoon at Koehler Fieldhouse.

Harris was one of five players in double figures for ESU (5-0, 3-0), which is averaging 107.6 points per game, hit the 100-point mark for the fourth time and has scored at least 99 points in all five games this winter.

The Warriors tied school records for consecutive games with 100 points (3 - also 1970-71 and 2016-17) and 90 points (5 - 1970-71, 1993-94 and 2016-17).

Junior guard Nick Giordano scored 16 points (5-for-6 fg, 4-for-5 on 3's, 2-for-2 ft), senior guard Ryan Krawczeniuk scored 13 including three three's, and redshirt junior forward Josh Williams (10 points, 7 rebounds) and freshman guard Marc Rodriguez (10 points) also hit double figures for the Warriors.

The point guard tandem of redshirt junior Jakwan Jones (9 points, 8 assists, 4 steals) and redshirt junior Kitt Najee Walls (6 points, 8 assists, 2 steals) combined for 15 points, 16 assists and six of ESU's 19 steals.

The Warriors had a 25-13 advantage in turnovers and entered as the PSAC leader in turnover margin (+10.5) and steals per game (13.8).

Jones and Walls had half of ESU's 32 assists on 42 made field goals, pushing their PSAC-best assist rate to 25.4 per game.

Trevor Blondin scored 21 points, Nathan Davis had 20 off the bench, Tyler Bowling scored 13 and center Spencer Casson had 10 points, five rebounds, seven assists and five blocked shots for Seton Hill (3-4, 1-2).

The Griffins shot 50.8 percent (30-for-59) overall and 10-for-20 from long distance, but couldn't figure out ESU's pressure which forced 17 of SHU's 25 turnovers in the first half.

The Warriors broke the game open with a 15-2 run in a five-minute stretch late in the half, extending 13-point lead (33-20) to 26 (48-22), before settling for a 52-32 advantage at the break.
