GREENSBORO, N.C. – For the third time in as many games, the outcome of a Cabrini men's basketball game came down to the final seconds. 

After losing its lead in the final minutes of Tuesday's game at Eastern, the Cavaliers turned tonight's late deficit into a 79-74 victory over Greensboro College in the first of its two games at the Guilford College Invitational in Greensboro, N.C.

Sophomore Tyheim Monroe led the Blue and White with his third double-double of the year, pairing 14 points and 17 rebounds, with 10 points and 12 boards coming in the second half.  Classmate Deryl Bagwell scored a team high 19 points, while sophomore Jair Green tallied 14 points and freshman Ivan Robinson 12.

The Cavaliers struggled in the early going, remaining scoreless for the first five minutes of action.  The Pride took advantage, scoring the first 10 points of the game.  The deficit grew as large as 12 points, but the Blue and White stayed its course and continued to chip away at Greensboro's lead.

The patience paid off in the final minute of the half, as junior Ryan charity's fast break lay-up gave Cabrini its first lead of the night at 32-31, a cushion it would carry to the half.

The Pride regained the lead early in the second half but the Blue and White responded with a 13-2 spurt, as Green's jumper gave the Cavaliers a 51-41 lead.

Like Cabrini in the first half, Greensboro remained steady and chipped away at its deficit before a 9-0 run put the Pride back in front.  The next few minutes saw six lead changes and ties, as Cabrini found itself down 70-67 with 3:33 to play.

Bagwell and Robinson attacked the paint, scoring the game's next six points to put the Cavaliers ahead 73-70.  A pair of Greensboro free throws pulled the Pride back within
one before a Robinson jumper pushed the cushion back to three with 70 seconds to play.

Robinson and senior Ace Henry connected on four consecutive free throws to ice the victory.

Donavan Griffith led the Pride (0-3) with 22 points, while Simeon Howard added 21 points in the loss.

The Blue and White will face tournament host Guilford on Saturday at 6 p.m.
