Men's Basketball Storms By Stevenson in Pivotal MAC Commonwealth Game

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (Feb. 6, 2016) – The Widener men's basketball team earned key victory over Stevenson, 83-68, on Saturday in Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth action. The Pride snapped a four-game winning streak the Mustangs were on at the Owings Mills Gymnasium.  
 
Mid-way through the first half, the Pride and Mustangs were tied at 16 apiece, before Widener began to pull away. David Nicholson (Odenton, Md.) hit a jump shot as the clock expired to give the Pride a 14-point lead at half-time.
 
In the second half, the Blue and Gold were 15-of-23 from the field for a shooting percentage of 65.22%. Laron Byrd (Philadelphia, Pa.) was two-of-three from three-point range in the second half. The Blue and Gold led the final frame in its entirety, as they did not trail in the game since the 10:31 remaining in the first half.
 
Sophomore Sardayah Sambo (Middletown, Del) recorded his sixth double-double of the season as he notched 27 points and 11 rebounds. Ten of the  sophomore's 12 rebounds came on the defensive glass. The guard, who shot five-of-11 from the field, was one point shy of his career high set back on November 13th against Washington College. Sambo added all five blocks for the Pride.
 
Kendall Green (Mount Laurel, N.J.) added 17 points on seven-of-13 of shooting from the field. The junior guard finished with six rebounds, three assist and one steal. Nicholson finished with 11 points on five-of-12 shooting from the field.
 
Byrd notched ten points on two-of-four shooting, four rebounds and an assist in 25 minutes played for the Blue and Gold.
 
Christian Roberts led the Mustangs with 23 points on eight-of-16 shooting. He added five rebounds, while Erik Fisher finished with a double-double of 14 points and ten boards in the game.
 
Widener improves to 11-11 overall and 6-7 in MAC Commonwealth play, while Stevenson falls to 8-13 and 6-6 in conference action. The Pride and Mustangs have split the season series, as Stevenson earned a thrilling 65-64 victory against Widener back on December 12th.
 
After Saturday's game, the Pride currently sit in sixth place in the MAC Commonwealth standings with three games to go. Widener will be off on Wednesday and back in action on Saturday as they host Messiah at 3:00 p.m. in conference play. The Pride defeated the Falcons 78-74 in double-overtime on January 16th.
