RADNOR, PA – The Cabrini men's basketball team snapped its nine game losing streak in dramatic fashion today, as the Cavaliers scored a dramatic 103-99 win over the Wesley College Wolverines.

Playing with a shortened bench, the Cavaliers got significant contributions from all eight players who saw action.  

Senior Keith Blassingale led the Blue and White (4-13, 1-4 Atlantic East) with 42 points while playing all 40  minutes, connecting on 7-12 from three point range, to go with seven rebounds and five assists, while junior Justin Gans paired 21 points and 12 rebounds.  

Junior Billy Warren secured a game-high 13 rebounds, including nine offensive boards, as Cabrini outrebounded the visitors 47-42.

Junior DJ Smith added 11 points, including a pair of important second half three pointers. Freshman Jordan Brown added nine points and notched a team high five assists.

After a tight opening 10 minutes, the Wolverines used a quick 8-0 run to push their lead 42-29 with 5:50 left in the first half. Cabrini regrouped to pull back within five points with 2:31 left in the first, but another 8-0 spurt secured a double-digit lead for the visitors.

Wesley remained in control of the final seconds of the opening stanza, as a late Blassingale bucket cut the visitor's lead to 54-45 at the break.

The Wolverines immediately pushed their lead to a game-high 15 points in the opening minutes of the second half, but the Cavaliers answered with a 15-4 run. Six consecutive Brown points pulled the Blue and White to within 64-60 with 12:33 to play.

Minutes later, a Blassingale three evened the score at 69 before a Smith triple gave the Cavaliers their first lead since 2-0.  Cabrini's lead was short-lived, as the Wolverines maintained their slim lead over the next several minutes.

Trailing 93-88, the Cavaliers made their final comeback with just 2:15 to play.  A Smith three pointer pulled Cabrini to within two points on the Blue and White's next possession, while the Cavaliers regained the lead at 94-93 after a pair of Gans free throws with 59 seconds on the clock.

Following a defensive stop, junior Brice Parks drained his only triple of the game. The triple proved to be the biggest bucket of the night, as it gave Cabrini a four point cushion with 33 seconds to play.

The Cavaliers iced the game from the charity stripe, where Blassingale and Brown combined to go 6-6 over the game's final seconds.

Cabrini connected on a season-high 15 three pointers and 34 free throws, while its 47 rebounds were just two off its season high.

Senior Brian Cameron led Wesley (10-8, 4-1 Atlantic East) with 30 points and 10 rebounds, while classmate Mychal Stefanides and sophomore Greg Bloodworth added 22 points each.

The Cavaliers will look to start a win streak on Monday, when they play host to the University of Valley Forge (8-6). The nonconference tilt will tip at 7pm at Nerney Field House.
