HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST EASTERN

At the end of the first quarter, the score was Eastern 14-7.

Eastern led 26-20 going into the locker room.

Through three, the Eagles were up 49-41.
  • Eastern and Widener exchanged layups to open the final quarter. Lindsay Kutz made the first Widener bucket. Two Eastern triples in about two-and-a-half minutes put them back into a double-digit lead. A 9-0 Widener run, capped off by a D'Ambrosio and-one, brought the Pride back to a two-point deficit.
