ELIZABETHTOWN, PA. – The Cabrini University men's basketball team fell to Elizabethtown College 81-65 in an Atlantic East-Landmark Conference crossover contest at Thompson Gymnasium Thursday night.

At the 17:15 mark, Ryan Byars scored on a steal to get the Cavs on the board. With 11:46 left in the half, the Blue Jays (1-2) took a 20-11 lead, but Cabrini battled back and went on a 9-0 run over the next two minutes to get within one, 21-20 in favor of Etown, but by the break, the Blue Jays held a 43-39 edge.
