1/22/08 -- Albright used its strength and speed to pull away in the second half and end Widener's six-game winning streak, 66-46, in a Commonwealth Conference tilt at Schwartz Center.

The game was tied, 21-21, at intermission before the visitors took control midway through the second half. The Lions (11-3, 1-0 CC) went on a 22-6 run over 4 1/2 minutes to open a 53-35 lead with 7:32 left. Tom Murphy scored all 10 of his second-half points in that span.

Murphy ended with 14 points, Albert Medoro was a force with 12 points and 22 rebounds and Phil Hall grabbed eight rebounds. This helped Albright's starting frontcourt outscore Widener's, 26-4, and gain a 35-7 rebounding advantage.

Andre Murphy scored nine points and Kyle Brudvig hauled in nine rebounds for the Lions, who closed with a 60-42 rebounding edge. Albright shot 46 percent (15-of-33) in the second half and limited Widener to only 22 percent (8-of-36).

Charles Jones (Philadelphia, PA) poured in 12 points, fellow junior Nyere Miller (Washington, DC) netted 10 and junior Tracy Jones (Indian Head, MD) grabbed a career-best nine rebounds for the Pride.

Widener is home Saturday against Lycoming at 3:00 pm. The women's game between the same schools precedes that at 1:00 pm.
