Box Score

The Griffin women made the trip to Elkins, WV looking for their first victory of the season and came away with a 67-64 road win.  Seton Hill improves to 1-4 overall and 1-1 in WVIAC play.
 
Davis & Elkins opened the game on a 10-2 run before the Griffins made a run of their own and took a 14-12 lead with 13:25 to play in the first half.  Paige Alviani and Katie Gattuso each scored 4 points during the run.  SHU was able to push the lead to 24-19 with 6:55 left in the first half.  Seton Hill entered the halftime break with a 34-31 lead.
 
Seton Hill had a great start to the second half and pushed their lead out to 59-46 on a Kelly Brennan bucket with 9:20 to play in the half.  Brennan scored 6 straight points.  The Griffins would then hit a cold spell and not make another bucket until the 2:45 mark when Alviani connected.  The Griffins trailed 62-61 after the Alviani bucket.  After a defensive stop, Mallory Sanner drilled a three pointer to give the Griffins a 64-62 lead with just over two minutes to play.  The Griffins would not give up the lead from that point.  Alviani hit a jumper to push the lead four at 66-62 with 1:25 to play.  D&E responded with a basket of their own to cut the lead back to two with 1:10 to play.  Alviani hit one of two free throws and the Griffin defense kept the Senators off the scoreboard the rest of the game to escape with the 67-64 victory.
