Gwynedd-Mercy 71, Misericordia 51
Second-half surge lifts Griffins to win in home opener

Box Score

GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. - Senior Ashley Vandiver (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) scored 10 of her team-high 13 points in the second half to help Gwynedd-Mercy to a 71-51 Pennsylvania Athletic Conference win over Misericordia Saturday afternoon at the Griffin Complex

The senior was one of four Griffins to finish in double figures. Senior Michelle Sgrillo (Philadelphia, Pa./Cardinal Dougherty) totaled 12 points and 10 rebounds for her first career double-double while Jackie Dougherty (Roslyn, Pa./Abington) chipped in 12 and Kristy Cramp (Pennington, N.J./Hopewell Valley) added 10 respectively.

Sgrillo's jumper with 2:45 left in the first stanza gave GM a six-point lead. But the Cougars outscored the Griffins, 8-0 to close the half and take a 30-28 lead at the break.

Free throws from junior Kristian Woodridge (Abington, Pa./Abington) and Vandiver midway through the second half broke 42-42 tie and give Gwynedd the lead for good. Vandiver also added six rebounds and five blocked shots.

The Griffins (3-1, 1-0 PAC) then used an 11-0 run later in the period to lead by as much as 15 points.

Lacey DeGraw led all scorers, netting 19 points for Misericordia (2-3, 1-1 PAC). Amy Hughes added 11 as the Cougars were outscored in the second half, 43-21.

Gwynedd-Mercy returns to action on Monday as they travel to Marywood for a PAC tilt starting at 6 p.m.
