Game Recap: Women's Basketball |

Women’s Basketball Falls, 72-69, at Chestnut Hill



Goldey-Beacom was doomed by a fourth-quarter run from Chestnut Hill and its best effort late fell short in a 72-69 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss in Philadelphia, PA.
 
The Griffins were down 60-54 in the fourth quarter when a 10-0 spurt put them on the other side of a 64-60 contest with 2:48 left.  Caity Kuhnen scored four points in the run and closed things on a short jumper.
 
Sophomore Mikila Stefanski (Hammonton, NJ) gave GBC life by canning a huge 3-pointer to make it 64-63, but Brittany McDonough came back on the other end with her own triple for a four-point game with 2:08 remaining.
 
Sophomore Lexi Bruno (Millville, NJ) made a layup to help the Lightning close to 67-65 with 1:34 to play.  Now a stop was needed from the vistors and they got it when freshman Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) drew a charge, which was the fifth foul from Mary Trossi.
 
GBC now had its chance for the tie, but junior Jazz Lewis (Mount Holly, NJ) misfired on a short jumper and Chestnut Hill got the rebound.  The Lightning were hoping for another stop, but Chestnut Hill's Lauren Milligan made a huge layup with 27 seconds to play for a 69-65 game.
 
Sophomore Britani Bryson (Hampton, VA) hit a layup to bring GBC within 69-67 and her team got life when Kuhnen made only 1-of-2 from the line with 15 seconds remaining for a 70-67 game.
 
The Lightning once again looked for the tie on the other end, but the perimeter was guarded and they had to settle for Lewis' layup with 4.7 seconds to play for a 70-69 game.  Kuhnen hit two free throws with 3.4 seconds left for a 72-69 contest, but Bruno's 30-foot attempt for the tie fell short as time expired.
 
Bruno scored 17 points, Stefanski netted 15 to go with five 3-pointers and Bryson had 14 points and 14 rebounds for her eighth double-double of the season.
 
Kuhnen scored 24 points on 7-of-13 shooting with four 3-pointers, McDonough netted 15, Jaeda Wildgoose scored 12 and Milligan added 10 for the Griffins, who shot 45 percent (28-of-62) from the floor and owned a 48-39 rebounding edge.
 
GBC (5-15, 5-6 CACC) and Chestnut Hill (7-11, 5-6) now are part of a three-way tie with University of the Sciences (5-6) for third place in the CACC South Division.  The top four teams in each of the two divisions advance to the conference tournament.
 
Goldey-Beacom went on a 13-0 run bridging the first two quarters to open a 29-21 lead with 7:13 left in the first half.  Bruno began to take charge during that spurt with four points and Bryson also had four.
 
Bruno scored 10 in the opening half for the Lightning, who gained a 39-34 lead thanks in part to forcing 11 Griffins turnovers.  Bruno shot 4-of-8 from the floor in the half to help her squad shoot 41 percent (16-of-39) from the field in that span.
 
Goldey-Beacom opens a four-game homestand Saturday vs. Nyack.  The women's game is at 1:00 pm and the men's contest starts at 3:00 pm.
