Lions Pull Off Stunning Comeback

Albright completed a thrilling comeback on Saturday at home, coming from 20 points down in the second half to shock Widener 76-75.

It was a crucial decision for Albright in the Commonwealth standings, as they are now tied with Widener for the final playoff spot when it looked like they would be two games out with the Pride holding a head-to-head sweep. Albright also ruined an outstanding performance by Widener's Jen Egee. Egee made 7-of-12 three pointers and finished with 36 points.

Egee sank two triples in the final minutes to give the Pride a 74-67 advantage. Amanda Tiritilli answered with a pair of threes with 56 and 37 seconds remaining however, to cut the deficit to one. Widener missed a pair of free throws, Kelecia Harris kicked out to Shannon Thomas, and the rookie drove for the winning basket with nine seconds remaining.

Harris Earns Weekly Honors

Following two clutch performances, Harris was named both the Commonwealth Conference and ECAC South Player of the Week. She was also included on the D3hoops.com Team of the Week for the second time this season and third time of her career.

The center averaged 21.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.0 blocks as Albright won two games by a total of three points to move into a tie for the final conference playoff spot.

She had nine points and six rebounds in the final five minutes alone as Albright erased a 20-point second half deficit to defeat Widener 76-75. She assisted on the winning basket with nine seconds left and then stole the ball from on Widener's ensuing possession. Harris also had 21 points and four blocks, including four points in overtime, as Albright won 67-65 in OT at Lycoming on Wednesday.

Albright College Lions (11-6, 5-5 Commonwealth)

Saturday's victory marked the second straight season that the Lions completed an improbable comeback at home against a conference rival. Albright came from 16 points down in the final seven minutes to beat Alvernia 62-60 last year.

Harris currently ranks in the top 50 nationally in field goal percentage (.582, 15th), blocks (2.59 bpg, 21st) and double-doubles (eight, 46th).

Arcadia University Knights (8-9, 2-8 Commonwealth)

The Knights started the season 5-0 but are on a 3-9 stretch that began when Albright handed them their first loss back on December 4 (62-55 in the Bollman Center).

Arcadia is led by a trio of sophomore guards, including leading scorers Samantha Caligiuri (11.8 ppg, 41 steals) and Mary Badeen (11.5 ppg, 25 steals). Point guard Dominique Hassinger averages 7.8 ppg and is second in the Commonwealth Conference in assists (4.2 apg, which trails only Albright's Jessica Venturelli).
