(Mays Landing, N.J./Oakcrest) and Darnell Artis (Philadelphia, Pa./LaSalle College H.S.) to take a 33-29 edge into the locker room.

In the second, GM (14-5, 10-2 CSAC) looked to take control, but Marywood just wouldn't go away. Shane Letthand would drive to the lane on a fast break for two to make it a 58-55 Griffin lead with 8:10 minutes to play. From there, Gwynedd zeroed in as Knight hit for back-to-back three's followed by Artis with two more in consecutive possessions as part of a 12-3 run to open up a double-digit lead to which they were able to hold Marywood at bay.

Artis would finish with a game-high 19 points. Knight added 17 along with eight boards, four assists, and two steals. His five three-pointers tied a career high. Freshman Cedric Elleby (Monroeville, N.J./Delsea) also grabbed eight boards while scoring 11 points and blocking three shots. Junior Seth Heinicke (Warminster, Pa./Calvary) recorded 12 points and six rebounds.

Letthand totaled 13 points, six assists, and four caroms off the bench. He would score seven points on an 11-0 run midway in the first to turn a six-point deficit into a five-point edge. Matthew Clark registered 16 points and seven rebounds. Matt Tintle (10 points) and Ryan Corrigan (14 points) also hit for double figures for Marywood (7-12, 3-9 CSAC).

Both teams shot 42% but the Pacers were just 3-of-14 from behind the arc. GM won the battle on the glass, 46-36, as the team secured 18 offensive rebounds.

The Griffins return to action on Monday when they travel to Centenary in a 7 p.m. start.
