BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Seven different Rangers scored in double figures and the Drew University men's basketball team rode a fast start to an 81-67 Landmark Conference victory at Moravian University Wednesday evening.
 
Sophomore forward David Musial posted 17 points and 13 rebounds for his sixth double-double of the season for the Rangers, who closed the first half on a 14-4 run to open up a 12-point advantage at the break. Drew would not trail for the remainder of the game.
 
The Rangers (17-3, 10-3 LC), who won their fourth game in a row, have now registered the best 20-game record in team history and remain in third place in the Landmark Conference standings.
 
Junior guard Pat Higgins added 12 points for the Rangers while five different players – sophomore forward Kevin Cronin, junior forward Peso Crump, junior guard Josh Kline, senior guard Andrew Turco, and freshman guard Eli Yusavage – scored 10 points each.
 
Gary Francis led the Greyhounds (7-13, 3-10 LC) with 20 points.
 
After four ties and seven lead changes over the first 11 minutes, the Rangers went in front to stay on a 3-pointer from Kline with 8:30 left in the opening half. However, Moravian trailed just 31-29 with 5:35 remaining before Drew's aforementioned 14-4 surge. Six different players scored during the stretch, which started with a Turco 3-pointer and a dunk from Crump. Musial capped it with a conventional 3-point play to put the Rangers up 45-33 at the half.
 
The Rangers continued to pull away early in the second half, opening on an 11-4 run to go up by 19 with 15:35 left. Turco started the outburst with five straight points before Musial drained back-to-back triples.
 
Drew led by as much as 22 after a 3-ball from Cronin with 12:39 remaining, but Moravian answered with a 13-2 run to cut the deficit in half at 65-54 with 9:55 showing. But Kline answered with a 3-pointer for the Rangers and the hosts were unable to get closer than 11 the rest of the way.
