Gwynedd-Mercy 76, Alvernia 63
Griffins roll to fourth-straight win, avenge championship loss to Crusaders

Box Score

GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. -- Junior Ashley Vandiver (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) collected her second double-double of the season to lead three Griffins in double figures as Gwynedd-Mercy posted its fourth win in a row, defeating Alvernia, 76-63, in a Pennsylvania Athletic Conference game Wednesday evening at the Griffin Complex.

Vandiver scored a game high 16 points and grabbed 10 boards. Teammates Jackie Dougherty (Roslyn, Pa./Abington) and Jillian Chiarantona (Abington, Pa./Gwynedd-Mercy Academy) added 14 and 12 points respectively.

Erin Knarr notched a double-double for the Crusaders (2-9, 1-3 PAC), finishing with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Leading 38-29 at the half, Alvernia closed the game to 44-41 early in the second stanza. But the Griffins (10-2, 5-0 PAC) opened the game up courtesy of a 14-2 run to lead by double digits the rest of the way.

Gwynedd shot 43.5% (30-of-69) and scored 36 points off of 27 Crusader turnovers. Alvernia shot 26-of-56 (44.6%) but just 1-of-6 from behind the arc.

The game was a rematch of last season's PAC Championship game in which Alvernia defeated Gwynedd in Reading, Pa.

The Griffins will host Immaculata on Saturday in a PAC matchup here at the Griffin Complex at 2 p.m.
