Widener rallied from a 12-point to tie the game, only to be dealt a heartbreaking 60-53 Commonwealth Conference loss at Lycoming in Williamsport, PA.

Trailing 53-41 with 3:35 left, the Pride (10-4, 1-1 CC) unbelievably came back to level the contest.  Senior Matt Sosna (Stratford, NJ) and junior Bobby Edmunds (Linwood, NJ) nailed 3-pointers in that stretch, but none were bigger than the triple from senior Nyere Miller (Washington, DC) with 1:02 to go for a 53-53 tie.

Widener looked to continue capitalizing on the momentum, but Lycoming (7-5, 1-1) grabbed it right back as Will Kelly hit a 3-pointer with 31 seconds left to give the home team a 56-53 cushion.  Senior Charles Jones (Philadelphia, PA) missed a jumper and the rebound was grabbed by Jemayne Nowlin, who nailed two from the line with 16 seconds left for a 58-53 game.

Edmunds scored 14 points for Widener, which shot only 32 percent (18-of-56) from the floor and 8-of-24 from 3-point range in seeing its five-game winning streak snapped.  Jones had eight points and seven rebounds with Sosna netting seven points.

Eric Anthony scored 14 points and Nowlin had 10 for the Warriors, who shot 44 percent (21-of-48) from the floor.

Widener in the first half shot 8-for-13 from the line, but was only 1-for-4 in the second half.  Lycoming in contrast made 0-for-2 in the opening half, but was the beneficiary of hitting 12-for-14 after intermission.

Widener on Saturday visits Elizabethtown at 4:00 pm, which followed the women's contest between the schools at 2:00 pm.
