Salem cut the SHU lead back to ten at 26-16 two minutes into the second quarter but the Griffins then went on a 23-6 run to build the lead to 27 points at 49-22 with three minutes to play in the half.  Marecic scored eight points during the run.  The Tigers ended the half outscoring the Griffins 10-1 to trim the lead to 50-32 at the half. 

The Griffins continued to build their lead in the third quarter building their largest lead of the game at 31 (69-38) with 4:22 to play in the third quarter.  Salem was able to trim the lead to 18 but the Griffins increased the lead to 80-57 after three quarters of action. 

The lead was maintained between 19 and 25 points in the fourth quarter as the Griffins were able to close out the Tigers and improve to 3-1 on the season.

SHU shot 43% from the floor while holding the Tigers to 37%.  SHU forced 17 turnovers and outrebounded the Tigers by a 62-46 margin.
