Seton Hill closed out the 2015 part of their schedule with a road contest against former WVIAC foe Alderson Broaddus on New Year's Eve afternoon.  The Griffins used a strong fourth quarter to rally for the 70-63 victory.  SHU improves to 7-6 on the season while the Battlers fall to 1-9.

The Griffins opened the scoring when Mariah Wells drained the first shot of the game, a three pointer.  Wells hit her second three of the quarter to extend the Griffins lead to 8-4.  Wells continued her hot shooting in the opening quarter as she hit her third three of the game that put the Griffins back in the lead at 13-11 just under midway through the first quarter.  Back to back layups from Lindsey Mifsud and Chrisanna Green put SHU ahead 17-13.  Halie Torris then hit a jumper at the end of the quarter that gave the Griffins a 23-19 advantage after one period of play.

A long drought without a field goal hurt the Griffins in the second quarter as they were outscored 14-9.  Kinross Obiefule hit a basket at the 8:31 mark of the quarter that extended the lead to 25-19.  Mifsud hit a free throw but SHU went nearly seven minutes without a free throw as Alderson Broaddus took a 28-26 lead.  Jenna Kaufman's layup with 1:50 to play tied the game at 28.  AB took a 33-32 lead into the halftime break.

Wells opened the third quarter scoring with a three pointer and a layin from Jharrin Gill gave SHU a 37-33 advantage one minute into the second half.  Mifsud hit a three pointer to give SHU a 48-47 lead with 3:45 to play in the quarter.  Hannah Laslo followed with a layup to extend the lead to 50-47.  AB then ended the quarter on an 8-0 run to take a 55-50 lead after three quarters. 

Obiefule scored three seconds into the fourth quarter but AB drilled a three pointer to push their lead to 58-52.  SHU then went on an 8-0 run capped by a Kaufman layup to take a 60-58 lead with 7:32 remaining in the contest.  After AB tied the score, Wells gave the Griffins the lead for good with a basket at the 6:07 mark.  Torris extended the lead to three with just under five minutes remaining.  AB trailed by two after two free throws but Mifsud drained a three pointer to extend the lead to 68-63 with 1:24 to play and the Griffin defense clamped down to secure the win.

The Griffins finished the game shooting 50% from the floor.  SHU outrebounded AB 39-25. 

Mariah Wells led the Griffins with 22 points.  She also added 8 rebounds with 3 steals and 3 assists.  Linsdey Mifsud also reached double figures with 13 points.  Kinross Obiefule was the third Griffin in double figures with 10 points.
