Box Score

LANGHORNE, PA
- Coming into Wednesday's game with Cabrini College, the Cavaliers had steamrolled through their previous two opponents, both by 20-plus margins.

Looking to halt Cabrini's torrid two game stretch, the Crimson Eagles instead became the third straight victim of a well-oiled offensive machine that shot 45 percent from the trifecta, 80 percent from the charity stripe, and 48.5 percent overall from the field for the game.

The Cavaliers held a 21-10 advantage in points off turnovers and received 32 somewhat surprising bench points to overcome the Crimson Eagles 80-60. Cabrini sophomore Dom Farrello led the attack off the pine, proving 17 points on eight of 11 shooting during an efficient 22 minutes of work.

After watching the Cavaliers jump out to a 20-8 lead through the first six minutes, PBU slowly began to dwindle Cabrini's 12 point edge. The Crimson Eagles would eventually pull to within five with 4:39 remaining, but three careless giveaways in the final minutes of the opening stanza would help the visitor's extend their edge to nine at 41-32.

Looking to make a run early in the second half, PBU instead came out flat. An 11-3 spurt through the first six minutes would push the visitor's advantage to 52-35 as the Cavaliers would ballon their edge to as big as 23 later in the period.

Senior forward Tom Arthur pumped in a game high 22 points on nine of 15 shooting while junior Willie Miler added 13 points as the only other player in double figures. Senior foward Austin McCardle chipped in with eight points.

The Crimson Eagles will look to rebound this Saturday by heading up to Marywood University to take on the Pacers at 8:00 pm.
