Third-Quarter Explosion Propels Griffins Over Knights

ASTON, PA. -- The #1 scoring offense in the nation was impressive again on Saturday as the Gwynedd Mercy University Women's Basketball Team scored a 110-89 Atlantic East victory at Neumann.

After leading just 48-44 at the half, the Griffins scored a program-best 41 points in the third quarter on 12-of-23 (52.2%) shooting, connecting on seven triples and 10 free throws as part of a 25-6 stretch to close out the stanza. Rookie Cayla Sharkey started the run with a pair of three pointers with Tolu Omole and Carley Huggard ending the stanza each adding a triple of their own.
