Double-Doubles Lead Men's Basketball to Victory Over Drew

CHESTER, Pa. (Jan. 18, 2016) –   The Widener men's basketball team picked up their second straight victory with a 80-70 non-conference win over Drew on Monday night at the Schwartz Athletic Center.
 
After tonight's nonconference victory and Saturday's double-overtime win, the Pride improve to 7-9, while the Rangers fall to 9-8 on the season.
 
Sophomore Sardayah Sambo (Middletown, Del.) and junior Kendall Green (Mount Laurel, N.J.) each recorded a double-double for the Blue and Gold. Sambo put forth a 20 and 11 game with a team-high 20 points and 11 boards. The sophomore guard added one block and an emphatic dunk to give Widener a two-point lead midway through the first half.
 
Green finished with a game-high 15 rebounds, with 14 of those boards coming on the defensive glass. The junior guard notched 19 points on six-of-nine shooting from the field and five assist for the Pride.
 
Over the weekend, Drew knocked down No. 11 ranked Susquehanna 76-74, but could not hold onto a half-time lead against the Pride on Monday. The Rangers saw their 38- 35 half-time advantage disappear early in the second half as Widener took the lead for good with 12 minutes remaining in the game.
 
The Pride recorded 30 points in the paint and added four points off of six turnovers. Widener held the largest lead of the game with just over three minutes remaining in the game as they add a 14 point advantage.
 
On the glass, Widener held a 44-27 advantage, with Sambo and Green combing for 26 of the rebounds for the Pride.

Seven different Widener players recorded a rebound for the Pride, including three from Laron Byrd (Philadelphia, Pa.) and Ryan McMahon (Mount Laurel, N.J.).
