December 5, 2005 GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. – Gwynedd-Mercy won its fourth-straight game behind 18 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two steals from senior Jillian Chiarantona (Abington, Pa./Gwynedd Mercy Acad.) as the Griffins hung on to defeat Misericordia, 61-53, Monday evening in a Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Game at the Griffin Complex.
Chiarantona hit five of the team’s nine treys while sophomore Beccie Strohecker (Hatboro, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) added 12 points and five boards.
It looked as if the Griffins (5-1, 3-0 PAC) were going to blow out CM early, starting the game on a 13-2 run. Strohecker’s only three-pointer of the night gave GMC a 20-point lead late in the first. Gwynedd led 36-20 at the break.
In the second half, Misericordia (3-3, 1-2 PAC) chipped at the deficit, rallying to get at seven at 48-41 with 7:24 to play on a layup by Amy Hughes. Later, a 7-0 CM run made it a 54-50 game with 2:29 remaining. A bucket on a fast break on the next possession and key free throws down the stretch from junior Ashley Vandiver (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) helped the Griffins to the win.
Hughes led the Cougars with 14 points. Jenell Fort chipped in 10 points and five boards. As a team CM, shot 20-of-56 (35.%) for the game while Gwynedd was 19-of-49 (38.8%).
