GLASSBORO, N.J. (AP) Jordan Price scored 19 points and La Salle traveled to Division III Rowan to take an 81-51 victory on Saturday.

The last time a Division I school traveled to a Division III school was Nov. 22, 2003 when Villanova visited Redlands.

Price hit 7 of 14 shots, including 5 of 7 from 3-point range. Rohan Brown added 14 points while Tony Washington grabbed 11 rebounds.

The teams were tied for the final time at 13-all with 10:52 left in the first half. La Salle led 38-28 at the break and was up by as many as 34 points in the second half.

Shawn Wilson led Rowan (2-5) with nine points.
