ROSEMONT, PA – The Cavaliers rallied from a 12 point second half deficit and had two chances for the game winning shot, but after the final buzzer, the Cabrini men's basketball team found itself on the short end of a 79-78 loss at Rosemont.

The Rosemont lead swung between 7-11 points for the final eight minutes of the opening half, as a pair of Ravens' free throws sent Cabrini into the halftime break down 41-30.

Cabrini wasted little time slicing into its deficit, as Charity scored the first six points of the second half.  The Ravens regained their composure and pushed their lead to a game high 56-44 at the 13:15 mark.

The Cavaliers responded with a 17-3 run of their own, as three consecutive lay-ups by Mosley and Blassingale gave Cabrini a 63-59 lead with just south of seven minutes to play.
