CHESTER, Pa. (Jan. 27, 2016) –   Sophomore Sardayah Sambo (Middletown, Del.) led the Widener men's basketball team to a 62-58 victory over Albright in Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth action on Wednesday night at the Schwartz Athletic Center.

Ten of Sambo's 12 rebounds were grabbed on the defensive glass. The guard finished with seven blocks and one assist in 36 minutes of play.
  
Kendall Green (Mount Laurel, N.J.)  added a game-high 16 points on five-of-seven shooting for the Blue and Gold. The junior guard was a perfect five-of-five from the free throw line and finished with an additional four boards. Green added a steal and an assist in the MAC Commonwealth victory.
 
The Pride held the advantage on the glass over the Lions, 41-35, and added eight points off of nine Albright turnovers.

Freshman Nick Jackson (Rockville, Md.) finished the game with six points and six rebounds. The forward added a team-high two steals and was three-of-six from the field.
 
Guard DeJuan Smith led Albright with a double-double as he recorded 12 points and ten rebounds. All the sophomores rebounds came on the defensive glass.
 
Head coach Chris Carideo and the Widener men's coaching staff wore sneakers on the bench as a part of the Coaches vs. Cancer national event to raise awareness for the fight against cancer.
