Signature Wins: The Haverford College men's basketball team posted its highest win total since the 2013-14 season under first-year head coach Patrick Doherty. The Fords showed great potential right from the start of the season during the New York University Tournament as they defeated Clark University on a buzzer-beater and came right back the following day with a convincing 93-83 victory against host NYU.
Other notable results on the Fords' schedule saw the team sweep the season series against McDaniel for the first time since the 2011-12 season, while also defeating Centennial Conference foe Washington College by a 67-50 score during the opening month of the season. The growth the team showed throughout the season appears to be in good position to continue as the Fords graduate two four-year players, but return their 11 top point producers from this past season.
