CHESTER, Pa. (Feb. 3, 2016) – The Widener men's basketball team earned a thrilling victory over Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth foe Lebanon Valley, 75-73, on Wednesday night at the Schwartz Athletic Center.
 
Just under seven minutes into the second half, a one point half-time deficit for the Blue and Gold turned into an eight-point lead for the Dutchmen. Widener would then go on an eight and two run topped off by John Fender (Wallingford, PA.) to tie the MAC Commonwealth contest with 9:42 left in the contest.
 
Fender finished the game with nine points and six rebounds. The junior guard recorded two steals in 19 minutes played for the Blue and Gold.
 
Kendall Green (Mount Laurel, N.J.) and Laron Byrd (Philadelphia, Pa.) each notched 20 points in the victory. Green was seven-of-14 from the field, including one-of-two from three-point range. The junior guard was also a perfect five-of-five from the free throw line. In addition to leading the team in scoring, he added a team-high with seven steals and four assist.
 
Byrd, who was four-of-eight on the night from the field, added five rebounds and three assist for the Pride. The senior guard was nine-of-ten from the free throw line in 37 minutes played.
 
Sophomore Sardayah Sambo (Middletown, Del) led the Pride with eight rebounds and five of the team's seven blocks. The guard added seven points on three-of-eight shooting and three assist.
 
Guard Sam Light led all scorers with 22 points on seven-of-13 shooting from the floor. The sophomore added three defensive boards and one steal. Junior Travis Conrad led all Dutchmen on glass as he recorded seven rebounds.
 
The Pride improve to 10-11 and 5-7 in MAC Commonwealth play, while Lebanon Valley falls to 12-8 and 6-5 in conference action. Widener is currently on a four-game winning streak at the Schwartz Athletic Center, three consecutive conference games. The Pride and Dutchmen split the important season as Lebanon Valley took the first match-up 78-69 back on January 13th.
