TOWSON, Md. - Shane Yambor scored a game-high 20 points and Joel Smith added seven points and 11 rebounds to snap a 10-game losing streak for Goucher in the Pride of Maryland Championship presented by M&T Bank as the Gophers handed Stevenson a 68-57 loss Sunday at Decker Sports and Recreation Center.

The win was also the first for Goucher (1-2) in four tournament meetings against the Mustangs and its first overall since a 77-72 victory over Frostburg State in the first round on Nov. 21, 2006. The Gophers are now 2-13 in five years of the annual Division III state championship.

For Stevenson (0-4), it was the first time in its five appearances that it went 0-3. Since winning the inaugural championship in 2005, the team has gone 3-9 in the Pride of Maryland tournament.

Junior guard Greg Collins (Baltimore/Western Tech) led the Mustangs with 17 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, marking his second career double double and first since he had 17 points and a career-high 13 rebounds in last year's four overtime victory at York (Pa.) on Dec. 6, 2008.

For his efforts, Collins was named to the Pride of Maryland Championship all-tournament team.

Freshman Danny Murphy (Severn/Glen Burnie) added a career-high 11 rebounds and has totaled a team-high 31 in four games this season, an average of 7.8 per game.

Stevenson trailed by as many as 17 in the first half after shooting 29.0 percent from the floor and turning it over nine times. However, an 8-2 run in the final 2:29 cut the team's deficit to 11 at the half, 36-25.

Collins scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half and grabbed five rebounds as the Mustangs cut the lead to nine, but they couldn't get any closer as they dropped their eighth-straight overall and ninth consecutive on the road.

The team's leading scorer, sophomore Jason Scroggins (Baltimore/Boys' Latin), finished with 10 points, eight of which came in the first half.

Stevenson returns to action on Tuesday when it hosts Washington (Md.) for the second time in four days at Student Union Gymnasium in its home opener at 8:00 p.m. The Shoremen handed the Mustangs an 82-63 loss in Saturday's Pride of Maryland consolation bracket.
