CHESTER, Pa. – The Widener women's and men's basketball teams prepares to play their first MAC Commonwealth games of the season on Wednesday night as they host Lebanon Valley at Schwartz Athletic Center. The women's game will tip off at 6 p.m., while the men's game will follow at 8 p.m. 
 
THE LEAD 
The men's basketball team (4-1) will look to win its fifth straight game overall. The Pride are coming off a 77-65 victory over Farmingdale State last Saturday and have also beaten Arcadia, Misericordia, and Swarthmore, which was ranked No. 8 in the country by D3hoops.com at the time of their win, during this winning streak. The Blue and Gold will try to snap a two-game losing streak to the Dutchmen after Lebanon Valley beat them in both games (66-65 and 92-90 in double overtime) in an abbreviated season in 2020-21. 
 
The women's basketball team (4-2) is eyeing its fifth consecutive game against the Dutchmen and its third straight win in its MAC Commonwealth opener. The Pride have posted victories of 84-51, 72-51, 66-50, and 57-48, respectively, against Lebanon Valley in the last four meetings. The Pride are coming off a third-place finish at the Pride-Spirit-Honor Tournament at Penn State Harrisburg, where they defeated Pitt-Bradford, 87-42, in the consolation.
