LANGHORNE, Pa. (Feb. 1, 2016)- Sophomore Myles McLeod (Teaneck, N.J. / Teaneck) recorded a new career-high with 36 points and 10 rebounds as the Centenary College men's basketball team rolled to a 92-80 victory over Cairn University.

Gerroid Doughty finished with 30 points and nine rebounds for the Highlanders who fall to 7-12 overall and 3-9 in the CSAC.
