GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA - Gwynedd-Mercy will advance to its 10th-straight Pennsylvania Athletic Conference title game as the top-seeded Griffins used four starters in double figures in an 81-60 win over fifth-seeded Neumann Wednesday night. Gwynedd will take on second-seeded Cabrini, who defeated Alvernia in tonight's other semifinal, this Saturday night at 7 p.m. for the PAC Championship and the league's automatic NCAA Tournament berth. Kristy Cramp (Pennington, N.J./Hopewell Valley) led all scorers with 20 points as the sophomore hit six three-pointers on the night. Seniors Jackie Dougherty (Roslyn, Pa./Abington) and Ashley Vandiver (Philadelphia/Archbishop Ryan) each added 15 points apiece while junior Karen Tierney (Philadelphia/Kennedy-Kenrick) chipped in 12. Up 25-24, Gwynedd (24-2) used a 9-0 run over a four minute span to end the first half and put them up 10 at the break. The Griffins extended the lead hitting back-to-back treys to open the second half and did not look back, keeping a double-digit lead the rest of the way. Brittany Whetts led the Knights (18-9) with 16 points and 11 boards. Gwynedd went to the line 43 times and hit 28 free-throws,
both season highs, and held a 52-35 rebound edge.
