December 7, 2005 GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. -- A 21-4 run midway in the second half sparked Gwynedd-Mercy to rally and defeat King's, 73-63, in non-league action Wednesday evening at the Griffin Complex. The Griffins have now won five in a row. Junior Jackie Dougherty (Roslyn, Pa./Abington) scored a game-high 19 points and senior Jillian Chiarantona (Abington, Pa./Gwynedd-Mercy) netted all of her 15 points in the second half. Beth Jordan and Kaitlyn Fiorino led the Lady Monarchs (3-4) each scoring 16 points respectively. Jordan also grabbed a game-high eight rebounds. Gwynedd (6-1) opened up a three-point lead early in the first half as back-to-back three-pointers from freshman Kristy Cramp (Pennington, N.J./Hopewell Valley) and sophomore Karen Tierney (Philadelphia, Pa./Kennedy-Kenrick) gave GMC a 21-12 lead with just over 10 minutes before the half. King's answered, and ran off a 17-6 run to close the stanza to lead 34-30 at the break. The second half saw the Griffins chip away early at the deficit before a trey from Chiarantona and two tough jumpers in the lane from junior Rebecca Frederick (North Cape May, N.J./Lower Cape May), with the later giving Gwynedd a 55-54 lead with 6:43 remaining, helped ignite the scoring stretch. Frederick finished with 12 points as Gwynedd hit 51.9% (28-of-54) from the floor including eight three-pointers. King's hit on 44.3% (27-of-61) shooting but were successful on just three of 15 attempts from beyond the arc. The Griffins play once more before the holiday break
