Strong Second Half Lifts Men's Basketball to First Conference Win

Scranton, Pa. - A dominating second half performance helped Marywood University's men's basketball team to a 89-72 win over Cabrini University Wednesday evening at the Insalaco Arena..  The win snapped a five-game slide for the Pacers and gave them their first conference win in the season. 

Marywood (6-11, 1-3 Atlantic East) got a game-high 21 points from Jack DeGroot.  He was joined in double digits by Adam Boussatta (18) and Donovan Catchings (15). DeGroot had previously been held to just two points over the last two conference games, both losses for the Pacers.

Cabrini fell to 3-13 (0-4 AEC).  The Cavaliers had four players in double figures, led by a team-high 19 from Keith Blassingale. 

The Pacers shot a blistering 52.7% from the floor on the night and made nearly 50% (10 of 21) of their three point attempts.  

Marywood led by just one, 37-36, at the halftime break. In the second half, the Pacers' hot shooting continued as they hit 62.7% of their attempts from the floor and hit seven of their 10 three's in the game in the final 20 minutes.

On the defensive end, the Pacers limited Cabrini to 32.4% shooting in the second half where they went just four of 16 (25%) from beyond the arc.

Marywood hosts Marymount (Va.) Saturday at 3:00 pm. The conference game will serve as the Pacers' "Coaches vs. Cancer" game.  Donations will be accepted at the gate.
