It was Widener who stretched their lead to six at 13:52 after a three-pointer, but Alvernia answered, scoring seven of the next eight points to tie the game 13-13 at 11:21 on a layup from Lamont Clark (Parkesburg, Pa./Octorara).

In fact, they built their lead to as much as ten twice, once with four minutes left after two free throws from Bennett. Widener kept it close, as close as two points multiple times in the second half. A layup from the Pride with 40 seconds remaining brought the score to within two, 65-63 before Alvernia connected for three free throws to put the game just out of reach.
The Crusaders are back in action Jan. 12th when they travel to Elizabethtown for another Commonwealth Conference game.
