Gwynedd Mercy University (7-13, 0-6) hosted Marywood University (8-10, 2-3) in Wednesday (Jan. 24) night’s AEC contest. After being down five points at the half, 36-31 (0:43), the Griffins cut the Pacers’ lead to just a single point, 53-52 (0:27), heading to the final frame. There, a 26-17 spread denied the Red and Gold’s final rallies. Eggers played a team-high 37 minutes in the contest, finishing 10-of-23 (.435) from the field and 1-of-2 (.500) at the free throw line for 23 points. She also recorded two offensive rebounds and an assist.
The Griffins took to the locker room with a 35-26 halftime lead over Neumann University (14-7, 3-3), but were unable to maintain their 46.7% (14-of-30) shooting rate in a 43-29 second half that left them five points behind the Knights in a 69-64 (0:03) conclusion. Eggers finished with a game-high 25 points on 9-of-17 (.529) shooting. She also recorded three rebounds, one assist, and a steal.
Gwynedd Mercy University continues their AEC schedule on Wednesday, January 31, when they visit Centenary University (N.J.) for a 6:00 p.m. contest.
