Seton Hill opened their 2019-20 season on the road in Fairmont, WV for the PSAC/MEC Challenge.  The Griffins met Concord in the first game of the challenge.
 
The Griffins came out on fire from three point land and continued to hit three pointers throughout the contest in an 93-82 victory over Concord. 
 
It was all Cheyenne Trest in the early portion of the game as she scored nine of the team's first fourteen points as SHU led 14-10.  Rena Enterline followed with a three pointer to give SHU an 8-0 run where they built their largest lead of the early going 17-10 with 4:39 to play in the quarter.  Back to back three pointers from Enterline and Madelyn Fischer pushed the Griffins lead to 24-12 with 1:30 left in the quarter.  SHU continued to rain in the threes as Samantha Kosmacki drained a three, the seventh of the quarter for the Griffins as they pushed their advantage to 27-12 late in the quarter.  Another Kosmacki three gave SHU a 30-12 advantage after the first quarter.  SHU closed the quarter on a 21-4 run. 
 
Lexi Civittolo hit one of two free throws to open the quarter but the Mountain Cats went on an 8-4 run to trim the lead back to fifteen with six minutes to play in the half.  Civittolo ended that run with a three pointer to push the lead back to 38-20.  Concord was able to get back to within eight at 44-36 but two Fischer three pointers in the last minute gave SHU a 53-37 halftime lead.
