Last Meeting: Gwynedd Mercy 71, Cabrini 69 (12/1/2018, Gwynedd Valley, PA)
Despite trailing for much of the game, a Cabrini foul in the game's final seconds proved to be the difference, as senior Courtney Cubbage drained a pair of free throws with five seconds to play to break a 69-69 deadlock and secure the win for GMercyU.

The Cavaliers used a 16-2 run early in the second half to build a lead and held a 39-28 halftime lead. The cushion swelled to 44-28 early in the second half before the Griffins responded with a 14-2 run of their own, eventually tying the score at 53.

The Cavaliers put forth a solid offensive effort, shooting .533 from the floor, but could not overcome a Marymount squad that hit north of .650 from the field in the second half.

Cabrini built a 34-26 lead at the half, in what looked to be a defensive battle. Both teams found their rhythms after the break, combining for 99 points.

The Saints regained the lead early in the second half and led by as many as six points midway through the frame. Despite trailing by five points in the final minute, the Blue and White had several chances to tie the score or take the lead but could not convert.

Mack led the Blue and White with 23 points on 10-12 shooting and nine rebounds, while Wright-Downing added 18 points, four boards, five assists and three steals.  Fellow senior Mike Doyle added 12, while Smith chipped in with nine points.

Gwynedd Mercy Last Time Out: Marywood 84, Gwynedd Mercy 69 (1/23/2019, Scranton, PA)

After exchanging the lead several times early in the second half, the Pacers used a 16-3 midway through the second stanza to pull away. Gwyedd trailed 59-43 with 18:14 to play before Marywood extended its lead to a game-high 19 points at the 4:12 mark.
