INDIANA, Pa. – Guard Anthony White scored a career-high 16 points and Shawndale Jones posted a double-double as the eighth-ranked IUP men's basketball team defeated visiting East Stroudsburg 80-56 Sunday afternoon at the Kovalchick Complex.
 
White came off the bench to shoot 5-of-8 from the floor and 5-of-5 from the foul line in 24 minutes. He went a perfect 5-of-5 in the second half for 11 points as the Crimson Hawks saw 30 points from its bench.

It was the second double-double of the season for Jones, who was starting his first game after the injury to forward Tommy Demogerontas. Jones scored 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, going 5-of-9 from the floor with a 3-pointer in 31 minutes.
