HOW IT HAPPENED
The Pride knocked down six of its first seven shots and took an early 13-5 lead after four minutes of play.

The second stanza saw Widener extend its lead to as many as 23 at the 15:24 mark. The Knights were able to pull back within 12 behind Da'kquan Davis's 27 point performance, but a solid three-point shooting night by the Pride helped it retake control of the game and hang on to the win.
