RADNOR, PA – For the fourth consecutive game, the Cabrini men's basketball team overcame a slow first half and found its offensive rhythm in the second half. The Cavaliers outscored Marywood 50-27 in the second stanza tonight to score a 93-66 win at Nerney Field House.

The Blue and White improved to 6-1 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference and 11-2 overall with its sixth consecutive win.

Freshman DJ Smith sparked the Cabrini offense to the tune of a career high 26 points, as the rookie drained eight of his 12 three point attempts. Senior Tyheim Monroe extended his season-long double-double streak, pairing 17 points and 12 rebounds.

Fellow senior Deryl Bagwell stuffed the stat sheet with five points, nine rebounds, eight assists, three blocked shots and a pair of steals.

The game's opening minutes went back and forth, as the teams combined for four ties and six lead changes in the first 10 minutes of play.

Trailing 22-21, sophomore Keith Blassingale's fast break lay-up put the Cavaliers ahead for good.  Junior Anthony Wright-Downing stole the subsequent in bounds pass and added a bucket for a quick three point lead.

Those two baskets sparked the Cavaliers to an 11-4 spurt and a 32-24 lead with 6:24 left in the half on a Monroe jumper in the paint. Minutes later, a Blassingale triple extended the lead to 41-31.

Marywood recorded the final six points of the stanza to pull within 43-39 at the break.

The Pacers trailed despite shooting a blistering 64% from the field and 5-10 from three point range, but Cabrini attempted 11 more shots and converted 10 Marywood turnovers into 15 points before the break.

The Blue and White wasted little time in taking control of the game as the second half began. Cabrini scored the first eight points of the stanza and 11 of the first 15, including a trio of Smith triples, and it never looked back.

Midway through the half, Cabrini's lead grew to 73-53, as Blassingale, Monroe and Wright-Downing combined for a 10-2 run.

The Cavaliers connected on 20-40 from the field in the second half, including 8-17 from beyond the three point line. Smith was the main contributor of the deep shots, as the freshman went 6-8 in the second half.

Meanwhile, the Pacers lost their collective shooting touch at the half, shooting just 11-30 in the second half, missing each of its eight three point attempts. Marywood also committed nine second half turnovers which led to 10 Cabrini points.

The Blue and White tied a season high with 20 assists, while committing just five turnovers, its fewest since a February 14, 2011 win over Baptist Bible College.

Blassingale finished with 14 points, while Wright-Downing tallied 10 points off the bench. Junior Mike Doyle chipped in with a career best five assists.

Juniors Jeremy Ringland and Thomas Swartz led the Pacers (8-5, 3-4 CSAC) in both points and rebounds, as the duo combined for 42 points and 13 rebounds.

Cabrini will hit the road on Saturday, as it makes the trip to Clarks summit University (1-13, 0-7 CSAC). Tip is slated for 4pm.
