The sophomore averaged 22.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game, showcasing efficiency by shooting 52 percent from the field (16-for-31), 47 percent from three-point range (8-for-17), and a flawless 5-for-5 from the free-throw line.

In a commanding 95-65 victory over Rosemont, Marr led all scorers with 18 points, including three three-pointers. He also posted a game-high eight rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block.

Marr followed up with a stellar performance in a 100-87 win over Lycoming, pouring in a season-high 27 points on 10-of-18 shooting, including 5-of-9 from beyond the arc. He added two rebounds, one assist, and three steals, helping the Fords reach the 100-point milestone for the first time in nearly a decade.

Through three games, Haverford boasts the 33rd-ranked scoring offense in Division III, averaging 89.3 points per game.
