Women's Basketball Rallies for 107-88 Victory Over Griffins

GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA - The Cabrini women's basketball team got back in the win column this afternoon following a thrilling 107-88 come-from-behind victory over the hosting Gwynedd Mercy University Griffins. 

The Cavs were led offensively by junior Ashley Tutzauer's career high 31 points. The guard added six rebounds, three assists and two blocks to round out her performance. Senior Meghan Matthews posted her third double double of the season thanks to 20 points and and a game high 11 rebounds, while juniors Lexi Edwards and Kate Lannon added 19 and 14 points, respectively. Freshman Miranda Liebtag rounded out the Cavaliers in double figures with 10 points. 

Cabrini seized control in the early going as they jumped out to a 26-11 lead midway through the first quarter. The Griffins answered with a 12-4 run to trim the Cavs' lead to seven heading into the second quarter. 

The hosts carried their first quarter momentum into the ensuing frame as they outscored the Blue and White 28-17 in the second stanza. Gwynedd highlighted the quarter with an 18-5 run that spanned nearly five minutes of play, while their defense came alive to force five Cabrini turnovers.

Following a back and fourth third quarter that ended with the Griffins extending their lead to five points at 81-76, the Blue and White rallied in the clutch as they ultimately outscored Gwynedd 31-7. 

A pair of free throws from Matthews kicked off the pivotal fourth quarter, while Tutzauer delivered the equalizer just 20 seconds later with a three pointer to knot things at 81 all. An Edwards' layup on the ensuing Cavalier possession handed the Cavs a lead they would not relinquish. They would push their lead to 11 points before a triple from Gwynedd's Denise Sacco stopped the bleeding with 6:38 left in the game.

Cabrini would go on to outscore the Griffins 15-4 over the final six minutes en route to the aforementioned 107-88 final. 

As a team, the Blue and White shot an impressive 53.6 percent from the floor, while converting 28-31 free throw attempts. The Cavs also tallied a season high 31 assists. 

The Griffins were led by Elise Sylvester and Denise Sacco who tallied 19 and 18 points, respectively. 

Following today's game, Cabrini improves to 16-6 overall and 8-1 in league play. They will look to add to their win total on Wednesday, February 12th when they host Marywood University at Nerney Field House. Tip off is slated for 6pm.
