Seton Hill took a break from PSAC play on Tuesday evening as they hosted Salem University in a non conference matchup in the McKenna Center.

Senior guard Sydney Rabold tied a SHU single game record with 13 assists and Cheyenne Trest added 10 assists as the Griffins defeated the Tigers 90-71 behind four players scoring in double figures.  The Griffins improve to 13-10 overall. 

Katie Nolan hit two free throws and Lexi Civittolo added a three pointer as SHU took an early 5-0 lead over Salem.  Another Civittolo three gave SHU an 8-7 lead three minutes into the contest.  Salem was able to build their lead to 22-12 with two minutes to play in the half.  The Griffins closed the half on an 8-2 run and trailed 24-20 at the end of the first quarter. 

SHU hit three three pointers in the first two minutes of the second quarter, one by Trest and two from Rena Enterline to take a 29-27 lead.  Six straight points from Civittolo and four straight from Nolan allowed SHU to take a 39-32 lead midway thru the quarter.  Tiana Stewart then hit three pointers on back to back possessions as SHU extended its lead to 47-36 with 3:13 left before the half.  SHU took a 49-40 lead into the halftime break. 

Stewart continued her hot shooting as she hit a three to open the second half and Civittolo followed with a basket as SHU pushed their lead to 54-40 a minute into the third quarter.  After a Tiger three, Nolan hit back to back layups and Enterline followed with a three as SHU built their lead to eighteen points.  A three point play from Nolan extended the SHU lead to 66-46 midway thru the third quarter.  The Griffins led 72-54 at the end of the third quarter.
