Micah Peavy scored 12 points while topping the 1,000-point mark for his career as Georgetown used its size and quickness to control Mount St. Mary's in a 79-51 win Wednesday night in Washington.

In his fourth college game, Thomas Sorber produced 14 points, 12 rebounds and five assists as Georgetown (3-1) rebounded from a deflating, 21-point loss Saturday at home to Notre Dame.

Jayden Epps added 19 points as Georgetown made 50 percent of its shots from the floor and 6 of 20 (30 percent) from 3-point range. The Hoyas also outrebounded the Mountaineers 43-36.

Terrell Ard Jr. tallied 12 points and six rebounds while Dola Adebayo added 10 points and six boards for Mount St. Mary's (3-2), which entered riding its best start since the 1996-97 season.

After Sorber scored on Georgetown's opening possession and Peavy followed with a 3-pointer, the Hoyas never trailed.

Midway through the first half, back-to-back 3-pointers by Epps stretched Georgetown's lead to its largest of the period, 25-9, before Mount St. Mary's put together its best run of the night.

With the Hoyas missing seven straight shots, the Mountaineers scored eight points in a row with Adebayo accounting for half of them. His dunk with 5:05 left in the half reduced the deficit to 25-17.

At the end of the half, Jordan Burks gave Georgetown a lift as he streaked for a breakaway, buzzer-beating two-handed slam that increased the Hoyas lead to 35-22.

Sorber started the second half as he did the first, scoring on the Hoyas' first possession. After that, Georgetown remained in control as Mount St. Mary's never whittled the deficit to fewer than 14 points.

Peavy achieved his milestone in style, freeing himself with a spinning dribble for a step-back jumper from the elbow.

Peavy played at Texas Tech as a freshman then spent the last three seasons at Texas Christian before transferring to Georgetown.

The Hoyas maxed out their lead as Malik Mack (10 points, five assists) made a layup and a pull-up 3-pointer to make it 77-46 with 1:20 left.
