La PLUME, Pa. – For the second consecutive game, the Cabrini College men's basketball team trailed by double digits at halftime.  This time, they could not come back as the Blue and White fell to 11-5 with today's 102-87 loss at Keystone College.  The loss drops the Cavaliers to a tie for second place in the CSAC at 7-2.

Four Cavaliers scored in double figures today, led by junior Tim McDaniels' career high 19 points of the bench.  Sophomore Aaron Walton-Moss added 18 points and a season-high 17 rebounds.  Junior Fran Rafferty tallied 17 points and eight rebounds before fouling out and senior A.J.

The Blue and White fell behind early, as the Giants built a 9-2 lead just under two minutes into play.  Two minutes later, Cabrini's deficit reached double figures at 19-8.  A 27-10 Keystone run put the Giants up 52-28 with 5:41 to play before halftime.  The Cavaliers closed the half on a 14-4 run, cutting Keystone's lead to 58-42 after 20 minutes.

The Cavaliers continued to slowly try to chip away at their deficit.  Cabrini got as close as 75-69 with 7:13 on the clock and it looked as though the Cavaliers were mounting a comeback, but turnovers on three consecutive possessions allowed the Giants to make a quick 7-0 run, extending the lead back to 13 points.
