WASHINGTON — Matt Hilleary scored a game-high 20 points and Pat Maloney and Andy Rice added 17 each to lead Catholic University to an 82-65 win against CCNY in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at DuFour Center.

The No. 14 Cardinals (23-5), winners of 11 in a row, advance to play at Widener University (21-5) in Chester, Pa., at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

Aki Trent led City College of New York (14-15) with 15 points and Neil Harewood had 12 points and a game-high 15 rebounds.

Hilleary hit 9 of 13 shots and blocked two. He has now made 36 of his last 49 shots (73.4%). Maloney finished 7-for-11 from the field and Rice was 7-for-10. CUA’s starters scored all but 11 of its points. Maloney, who added six assists, moved into sixth place on the Cardinals’ all-time scoring list with 1,551 career points.

CUA, leading 46-44 with 15:57 to go, assumed command with a 21-6 run to lead 67-50 with 8:13 left. Rice ignited the spurt with a 3-pointer and Will Morley (13 points, team-high seven rebounds) ended it with a layup that turned into a three-point play. Maloney assisted both baskets and scored seven consecutive points during the spree.

Rice finished with five assists, five rebounds, three steals and two blocks. His 17 points were a career playoff high.

The Cardinals hit 18 of 22 free throws (81.8%) and 29 of 63 field goals (46.0%). The Beavers, who 11 got points from Vernon Dantzler and 10 points apiece from Ralph Perez and Obinna Efobi, shot 39.7% (25 of 63) from the field.

The class improved to 95-21 (.819) since the beginning of the 1997-98 season.
