RADNOR, PA – The Cavaliers erased a 13 points second half deficit and evened the score at 67 with just over three minutes to play, but a quick 5-0 Marywood spurt proved to be the difference, as the Cabrini men's basketball team suffered a 78-74 loss to the visiting Pacers tonight at Nerney Field House.

Senior Anthony Wright-Downing paired 25 points, 11 rebounds five assists and three steals for the Blue and White (2-13, 0-2 Atlantic East), while classmate Ivan Robinson added 12 points.

Senior Alsmith Saintilus finished the night with nine points, while freshman Voshon Mack added eight points and seven boards.

The Pacers grabbed the lead midway through the opening stanza, using an 8-0 run to grab a 25-15 lead at the 10:01 mark.

Cabrini trailed by a game-high 15 points with 2:11 left before the half, but the Cavaliers closed the period with a 7-2 run.  Senior DeVahnté Mosley found Wright-Downing for a fast break bucket in the final second to send the Cavaliers back to the locker room trailing 42-34 at the half.

The Cavaliers continued their run into the second half, pulling to within 45-41 on a Robinson jumper. The Pacers remained calm, extending their cushion to 60-47 as sophomore Tone Cockrell hit senior Jeremy Ringland for a jumper with 10:35 to play.

The Blue and White turned to its defense over the next seven minutes, as it used a 20-7 run to pull even at 67. Four Cavaliers marked the scoring column during the spurt, including a pair of Saintilus triples, the second of which tied the score with 3:16 on the clock.

The Pacers responded with a Cockrell triple and short jumper in the paint by senior Thomas Swartz to quickly regain a five point cushion.

A Robinson three pointer temporarily stemmed the Marywood run, but the Cavaliers could not get the needed defensive stops, as the Pacers scored on their next three possessions to put the game out of reach.

Swartz paired career highs of 34 points and 15 rebounds for Marywood (10-5, 2-0 Atlantic East), while Cockrell and fellow sophomore Jack DeGroot added 13 points each and combined for seven steals.

The Cavaliers will return to action on Saturday, when they welcome the Wesley College Wolverines (7-8, 1-1 Atlantic East) to Nerney Field House. Game time is slated for 3pm.

At halftime of Saturday's game, the Cavaliers will honor former men's cross country, golf, and tennis student-athletes who were named to the Colonial States Athletic Conference 25th Anniversary Team.
