December 18, 2004 Albright 73, Gwynedd-Mercy 71 OT GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. - Albright scored 13 points in the last 35 seconds of regulation to force overtime where the Lions hung on to defeat Gwynedd-Mercy, 73-71, Saturday afternoon. Down 64-53, four free throws followed by a big three-point play by Marie Levins helped Albright get within 64-60 with 24 ticks on the clock. After two missed Griffin free throws, Ashley Howard sliced through with a layup to make it 64-62 with just three seconds left. But on the inbound Levins stole the pass and was fouled where she hit two free-throws with 0.8 seconds to force the extra session as the teams were deadlocked at 66-66. The Griffins (2-6) had a chance to tie the game in overtime as a foul with no time on the clock gave Gina Morano (Philadelphia, Pa./Nazareth Academy) a trip to the free-throw line where she missed the first of two to help the Lions to complete the comeback. Levins led all scorers with 23 points, with 17 coming in the second half. Teammate Jacqueline Hardwick chipped in 13 points and seven boards for the Lions (2-6), who snapped a six-game losing streak. Gwynedd-Mercy led 31-20 at the half and looked to pull away for good as Jillian Chiarantona (Abington, Pa./Gwynedd-Mercy Academy) hit her third three-pointer of the game to give the Griffins a 48-32 lead with 11 minutes in regulation. The junior finished with 11 points and six rebounds. She was one of four Griffins in double figures. Sophomores Jackie Dougherty (Roslyn, Pa./Abington) and Rebecca Frederick (North Cape May, NJ/Lower Cape May) each score 13 points respectively. Dougherty added four assists while Frederick grabbed seven rebounds and blocked a shot. Gwynedd-Mercy returns to action on Tuesday, December
28th as they play Johns Hopkins in the first game of the Grand Canyon
