Seton Hill hosted Slippery Rock on Monday evening in the first round of the PSAC Tournament.  The game was the first time the Griffins have hosted a PSAC Tournament matchup in Greensburg.  

The Griffins jumped out to a 43-32 halftime lead and defeated the Rock 78-70 to advance to the PSAC Quarterfinals.  SHU is now 17-12 overall.  

SHU jumped out to an early 8-2 lead behind three pointers from Dimitrios Sklavenitits and Rashaad Williams.  That was a lead the Griffins would hold for the entire first half.  A dunk from Kedrick Curtis and a layin from Gabe Gillespie gave SHU a 10 point lead at 25-15 with 11:24 to play in the half.  SHU closed the half on a 7-0 run as they took a 43-32 lead into the halftime break.  

Back to back threes from Curtis and Sklavenitis pushed the Griffin lead to 49-34 just over a minute into the second half.  A three point play from Sklavenitis gave SHU a 56-44 lead with 13:30 to play.  The Rock then responded with a 16-1 run as they took a 60-57 lead with 9:33 left.  Williams answered with a three to tie the score at 60.  Neither team led by more than three points with the Rock holding a 68-67 lead at the under four minute timeout.  SHU then scored the next eight points to build a 75-68 lead with 37 seconds to play.

Simos led SHU with 23 points.  Curtis had a double double of 20 points and 12 rebounds.  Williams and Sklavenitis added 13 points each.

SHU will travel to Millersville for a PSAC Quarterfinal on Wednesday evening.
