Scranton, PA - Marywood University kept their CSAC playoff hopes alive with a big 79-73 win over visiting Rosemont College Saturday afternoon at the Pacers' Insalaco Arena.  Ryan Corrigan had a career-high 32 points and Kendall Harris dropped a double-double with 23 points and a game-high 14 boards as the Pacers improved to 5-12 (4-6 CSAC).  The Ravens fell to 8-8 overall and 3-7 in league play with the loss. 

Rosemont found themselves up nine (22-13) as Jashuan Fontanez hit a three at the 13:03 mark, but Marywood kept the Ravens off the board for the next five minutes and went on a 13-0 run during the span to take a 26-22 lead with 8:18 left.  The Pacers would then go up by as many as eight points (38-30) before the Ravens closed the half on a 11-2 run to take a 41-40 lead into intermission.

The second half saw Rosemont go up seven over the first five minutes and after Marywood closed the Raven lead to two the visitors again extended their lead, using a 7-0 run to go up 60-51 with just under 10 minutes left. 

From there, the Pacers slowly chipped away at the deficit.  Down three, Daniel Tintle hit a layup to get Marywood to within one.  After a Rosemont three, Shane Kellaher hit a runner to keep Marywood within striking distance.  With 1:16 to go and the game tied 71-71 on a jumper from Harris, the Pacers connected on six consecutive free throws to pull ahead 77-71 before Rosemont could get a bucket with two ticks remaining.  Another pair of freebies from Kellaher made Marywood 8-for-7 from the charity stripe over the game's final 41 seconds.

Corrigan's career-high 32 was also a game-high and came on 11 of 18 shooting from the floor which included a 6 of 9 mark from long range.  Harris recorded his double double on 8 of 18 shooting and by grabbing five offensive boards and nine defensive rebounds.  Harris started the game 3 of 10 from the free throw line before hitting his final four freebies over the games' final moments.
