No. 2 Drew vs. No. 6 Susquehanna

Thursday | 7:00 PM | at Drew University

The first semifinal pits second-seeded Drew University against the surging Susquehanna University River Hawks.

Susquehanna punched its ticket with a statement opening-round upset, knocking off third-seeded Scranton 85-78 despite trailing for much of the first half. The River Hawks leaned on a big night from Billy Anderson (27 points, 9 rebounds) and balanced scoring to secure the win and earn a rematch with Drew, a team they’ve faced in each of the past three conference semifinals.

This series has history and familiarity — and it could shape how far each squad goes. Drew emerged victorious in the most recent regular-season meeting, holding off Susquehanna 92-84, but in the playoffs, anything can happen. The Rangers are battle-tested and tough at home, while the River Hawks bring momentum and confidence after their upset performance.

Expect a physical tempo, contested paint play, and experience on both sidelines as these teams vie for the final championship game berth.

No. 1 Catholic vs. No. 4 Wilkes

Thursday | 7:00 PM | at Catholic University

In the second semifinal, top-seeded Catholic University faces the Wilkes University Colonels.

Wilkes earned its spot with a thrilling win over Elizabethtown, powered by a dominant performance from Lucas Lesko (23 points, 10 rebounds) and clutch play down the stretch to take control of the game. The Colonels showed poise and resilience, outlasting E-Town and setting up a showdown with the Cardinals.

Catholic, as the tournament’s top seed, has put together a strong season and will look to capitalize on its regular-season success. With home-court advantage and a lineup that has consistently executed on both ends of the floor, the Cardinals are poised to make another run at the program’s first Landmark title in recent years.

The matchup shapes up as a classic contrast: Wilkes’ aggressive attack versus Catholic’s balanced offense and stingy defense. Expect this game to hinge on rebounding, shot selection, and late-game execution.

What’s at Stake
