The streak is over.

Ryan Clancy scored 15 points, Jack Donaghy added 11 and Haverford ended Lower Merion’s in-league winning streak with a 60-57 victory Wednesday night in a Central League game.

The Aces’ last in-league defeat was a 64-49 decision Jan. 13, 2011, against Upper Darby. And it’s their first loss to Haverford since the 2006-07 season.

The difference for Haverford was at the free-throw line.
