Emmitsburg, Md. (December 1, 2007)--Sophomore Jeremy Goode (Charlotte, N.C./Providence Day) tallied 22 points, nine assists and a career high seven steals to pace Mount St. Mary's to a 70-58 win over longtime rival Loyola in the 162nd meeting all-time between the schools. With the win, the Mount moves to 1-4 on the season while the Greyhounds drop to 4-4.

Goode capped a 11-0 run to close the first half with a deep three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Mount a 27-21 lead at the break before a boisterous crowd of 2,109 at Knott Arena. Goode had 12 of his game-high 22 points in the opening 20 minutes.

Mount St. Mary's opened the second half with an 18-7 run to take a commanding 45-28 advantage with 14:11 left in the contest. The Mount led by double figures the rest of the way to close out their first win of the season.

Goode's seven steals were a career best and are the most by a Mount player since Riley Inge tallied nine steals against St. Francis (N.Y.) on Jan. 13, 1996. Goode also tied a career high with his nine assists while it was the third time he has topped the 20-piont mark in his career.

The Mount now holds a 94-68 advantage in the most played rivalry in the state of Maryland. The win snaps a two-game losing streak to the Greyhounds.

At halftime of the game, the Mount retired former great Fred Carter's number. Carter, third on the Mount's all-time scoring list with 1,840 points, averaged 21.9 points and 10.8 rebounds in 84 career games at the Mount.

Mount St. Mary's returns to action on Monday, Dec. 3, with a 7:00 p.m. game at Navy.
