RADNOR, Pa. – The Cabrini men's basketball team scored a 109-101 victory over Gwynedd Mercy tonight at Nerney Field House in a Colonial States Athletic Conference Tournament semifinal.  

The Cavaliers' eighth consecutive victory improves the team to 17-9 and secures the team's seventh straight appearance in the CSAC championship game and a chance to win its sixth consecutive conference title.

The Blue and White will host Neumann University on Friday night at 7 p.m. in the championship tilt.

Senior Aaron Walton-Moss stepped into the record book with tonight's win. Not only did the senior record his ninth triple-double of the season with 18 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists, his final two points broke Billy Carr's career scoring record of 1,604 points.  The senior also swiped a career high seven steals.

Walton-Moss was one of five Cavaliers to record double figures in tonight's win. Freshman Jair Green matched a career high with 25 points, while junior Ace Henry was on fire, posting a career best 23 points in just 20 minutes off the bench. The junior hit 8-for-10 from the field, including 5-for-7 from 3-point range.

Senior Vinny Walls tallied 20 points and seven rebounds, while sophomore Ronny Paden added 11 points. The Cavaliers also got a boost from sophomore Ryan Charity, who posted eight points, five rebounds, four assists and a pair of steals.    

Cabrini's 109 points marked the club's largest scoring output since a 111-99 victory over Widener on Nov. 30, 2013.  The team's 24 assists also tied a season high.

The Griffins used an early 9-0 lead to take an early 13-4 advantage.  Trailing 29-24 at the 9:23 mark, a Henry triple spurred the Cavaliers to a 10-0 run, giving the Blue and White a five point lead.  

Gwynedd Mercy battled back to even the score at 47-47 late in the stanza, but Green hit a pair of jumpers to send Cabrini into the half with a 51-47 lead.  

The Cavaliers opened the second half with five consecutive points, extending its lead to 56-47.  Henry connected on another three pointer on Cabrini's next possession,  pushing the lead to 10 points.

Minutes later, a 6-0 Blue and White spurt pushed the lead to 65-51 with 16 minutes to play.

The Griffins whittled away at its deficit, coming within 92-88 with 3:51 left on the clock, but the Cavaliers had an answer, connecting on 9-12 from the free throw line in the final minutes.  

Henry also connected on what could have been the two biggest shots of the night.  Walton-Moss found the junior for a pair of three pointers in the final 2:08, both of which extended the Blue and White's cushion to eight points.

While both teams shot over 54% from the field in the opening half, Cabrini turned up the defense after the break.  The Cavaliers held Gwynedd Mercy to just 35.6% second half shooting, including 5-16 from the free throw line.

Conversely, the Blue and White connected on 17-34 from the field and 21-26 from the charity stripe in the second half.

Five Griffins (17-10) scored in double figures, led by senior Justin Knight and junior Brian Hennessy with 22 points each.  Knight added 11 points and six assists, while Hennessey hit 6-12 from three point range.  Junior Darnell Artis added 21 points and six assists in the loss.

Neumann (16-10), the tournament's second seed, advanced to Friday's CSAC championship game after tonight's 57-52 semifinal win over Centenary.  

The Cavaliers scored a pair of wins over the Knights in their two meetings this year.  Walls hit 7-10 from three point range to lead the Blue and White to an 81-60 home win on Dec. 3.  Walton-Moss paired 18 points and 11 boards in Cabrini's 80-71 road win.

The game will also mark a rematch of the 2014 CSAC title game.  Walls tallied 31 points, while Walton-Moss paired 26 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, as Cabrini topped Neumann 96-79.
