Previous Meeting
Freshman
Sameen Swint pulled Albright back into the game midway through the second half and then hit the game-winner with seven seconds remaining, as the Lions defeated Arcadia 85-84 on December 4.
Swint finished with a game-high 19 points on 7-of-14 shooting. He drove from the right corner and finished on Albright's final possession to give the Lions the victory. Arcadia had a great chance to tie at the buzzer as Joe Brown's put-back attempt off Aaron Lee-Webb's missed jumper was just short.
With Albright trailing 64-57 at the midway point of the second half, Swint scored seven straight to pull his team level. After making two free throws, he pulled down a defensive rebound and hit a jumper at the other end. Swint then came up a steal and took it the other way for a three-point play that tied the game. The rookie was the only person on the floor to score over a stretch of nearly three minutes.

Albright College Lions (10-7, 6-4 Commonwealth)

Sam Marrella dished out 10 assists.
Arcadia University Knights (6-11, 1-9 Commonwealth)
Arcadia went 16-11 in 2012-13, earning its first postseason appearance since 2006. The Knights then beat Stevenson 85-83 to earn their first playoff victory since 2000, and nearly knocked off eventual league champion Alvernia in a hotly-contested semifinal.

Alfonzo Hawkins over the weekend. Seven Arcadia games, including five Commonwealth contests, have been decided by one possession or in overtime.
