Gryphons mount Late Comeback against Bard

BRONXVILLE, N.Y. - The Sarah Lawrence women's basketball team rode a 20-point fourth-quarter to a come-from-behind victory against Bard College on Tuesday evening. Kendall Haymore propelled the offensive attack for the Gryphons with 18 points, including three separate three-point plays in the second half that shifted momentum in favor of the Gryphons.

Numbers
  • Haymore led the Gryphons with a game-high 18 points and added 10 rebounds for a double-double
  • Kumi Tamura totaled 17 points and two assists while carrying much of the first-half offense for Sarah Lawrence
  • Jordyn Medina grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds, including eight on the offensive boards
  • Kaila Dorch scored seven points while compiling eight rebounds in the winning effort

How it happened
The game remained extremely close for most of the first half, with neither team finding overwhelming success on the offensive end and ending the first ten minutes of play tied at 12 points apiece. Two fastbreak layups by Tamura early in the second quarter gave the Gryphons an early advantage, but was soon wiped away as a three-pointer by Bard's Mae Redmond returned the lead to the Raptors with six minutes left in the first half. Following a layup by Dorch just one minute later, the Gryphons regained the lead by two points, only to be held scoreless for the final five minutes of the half and head into the break in a four point deficit.

Coming out of the break, the Gryphons scored back-to-back layups to bring the score within four points before Haymore scored nine straight points for the team. Within a two minute stretch, the junior from Miami, Fla. converted on three consecutive three-point plays to propel the Gryphons to a five-point lead that they would keep intact for the remainder of the contest, despite efforts from the Raptors to claw their way back into the game. A jumper by Bard's Jade Dinkins with under two minutes remaining tied the game at 46 but a timely three-pointer from Tamura gave Sarah Lawrence a lead that would remain throughout the final buzzer. 

Up Next
The Gryphons will travel for the first time this season as they take on Yeshiva to open Skyline play on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
