GLENSIDE, Pa. - The Rosemont College men's basketball team never led tonight and were outscored 36-21 in the first half of tonight's non-conference game at Arcadia University.

The Ravens dropped to 5-4 overall (3-2 CSAC) and the Knights improved to 6-4 (2-0 Commonwealth) with the result.

Going into the locker room at the half, the Ravens trailed 36-21, their largest deficit of the game at that point. The Knights opened up an 18 point lead, 39-21 a couple of minutes into the second half; a lead they would hold until 14:37 was left with the Ravens trailing 45-27.

Rosemont tried a comeback, outscoring the Knights 16-4 to sneak to within six points at 49-43 with 9:32 left, but the Knights were able to foil the Raven's bid.
