RADNOR, Pa. – The Cabrini men's basketball team is 12-1 in Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) play after an 81-59 victory at Rosemont College Thursday night. Senior forward Kevin Misevicius tallied a game-high 23 points for the Cavaliers in the win.
Misevicius now needs only 23 points to reach the 1,000-point plateau at Cabrini and 51 points for 2,000 in his college career. He joined the Cavaliers following two years at Lehigh Carbon Community College, where he scored a combined 972 points.
Misevicius shot 9-for-16 overall against the Ravens, knocking down 5-of-7 attempts from beyond the 3-point arc. He scored 12 points on 5-for-7 shooting overall in the second half in only 14 minutes played.
Junior forward Dom Farrello notched 14 points on 6-for-9 shooting overall and 2-for-3 from long distance. Farrello grabbed five rebounds.
Senior forward Chris Blake made his first start of the season and scored in double figures, adding 10 points.
Sophomore forward Dan Robinson made his first career start as a Cavalier. Robinson, who missed five games in the month of January due to an injury, posted a career-high nine points and eight rebounds. He joined the Cavaliers in December as a mid-season transfer from Division II East Stroudsburg University.
Despite shooting 48.5 percent from the floor in the first half, Cabrini led by just eight points at the break, 39-31. Rosemont answered the Cavaliers' offensive firepower, shooting 46.7 percent in the opening 20 minutes on its home floor.
However, Cabrini opened the second half on an 11-0 run, securing a comfortable 19-point cushion, 50-31, with 15:50 remaining. The Cavaliers paced the Ravens by 23 points, 67-44, at the 9:33 mark.
Misevicius triggered the decisive run in the second half with three 3-point field goals. Blake capped the spurt with an old-fashion 3-point play off a feed from sophomore forward Brandon Carter on the fast-break.
Cabrini twice led by a game-high 25 points down the stretch.
The Cavaliers shot 47.8 percent from the floor for the game, eclipsing the 45 percent mark for the 12th time this season and eighth time versus a CSAC opponent. Cabrini has shot better than 45 percent in six of its last seven games.
Freshman guard Tremell Green led all Rosemont players with 11 points in 18 minutes played in a reserve role. Sophomore guard Harrison Carsillo paired six points with seven rebounds. The Ravens shot just 29.0 percent from the field in the second half.
Tonight's game was just the second all-time for Cabrini and Rosemont on the men's basketball hardwood. The Cavaliers earned a 74-63 win at home Jan. 16 in the series' inaugural meeting.
