February 16, 2005 Wesley 77, Gwynedd-Mercy 70 GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. -- Wesley's Brittany Lundy scored game-high 28 points to lead the Wolverines past Gwynedd-Mercy, 77-70, in an exciting Pennsylvania Athletic Conference game Wednesday night at the Griffin Complex. The loss snaps a five-game winning streak.
Down 73-70, junior Jillian Chiarantona (Abington, Pa./Gwynedd-Mercy Academy), who scored 18 of her team-high 23 points in the second half, had a chance to tie it with four seconds left but her three-point attempt did not fall. The Wolverine's Tricia Casarotto hit one of two free throws and Lundy hit a half-court three-pointer after a steal off an inbounds pass at the buzzer to account for the final score. Gwynedd-Mercy (13-11, 12-3 PAC) climbed back from an eight-point first half deficit to trail by one at 29-28 at the break. In the second half, which saw seven lead changes, Casarotto gave Wesley (18-7, 14-2 PAC) it's biggest lead of the game at 63-54 with 9:10 to play. Casarotto added 19 points and seven rebounds. Chiarantona's putback off a miss got the Griffins within 73-70 with 1:13 remaining. She finished 8-of-17 from the floor and added four assists. Sophomore Jackie Dougherty (Roslyn, Pa./Abington) added 14 points while sophomore Rebecca Frederick (North Cape May, N.J./Lower Cape May) added 12 rebounds. GMC shot 26-of-63 (41%) for the contest. T'Neisha Turner also scored 19 points and teammate Robin Smith totaled 11 points and 11 rebounds for Wesley (18-7, 14-2 PAC). The Griffins play at Cedar Crest on Saturday to
