Haymore's 31 Points and 22 Rebounds Leads Gryphons over Maccabees

BRONXVILLE, N.Y. - The Sarah Lawrence women's basketball earned their first Skyline victory of the season, taking down the Maccabees of Yeshiva 76-57 on Thursday night. Senior Kendall Haymore led the way for the Gryphons with 31 points and 22 rebounds on the night.

Top Performers
  • Haymore led all scorers with her 31 points and added a game-high 22 rebounds
  • Colleen Coughlin scored 17 points and added three steals for the Gryphons

How it Happened

The Gryphons fell behind 5-0 early but a three-pointer from Anderson-Strawder stopped the momentum and catalyzed an eight-point run for the Gryphons to take an early lead. The two teams battled back-and-forth, remaining a one-score game throughout the remainder of the first quarter, which ended with an Abigail Koenig three-pointer finding the bottom of the net as time expired to give the Maccabees a 16-14 lead after 10 minutes of play.

The Maccabees pulled ahead at the beginning of the second quarter, after a Daniella Bessler jumper they found themselves ahead 24-17. Five straight points by Coughlin accompanied by back-to-back layups by Kaila Dorch and Haymore gave the Gryphons the lead once again. Bessler would respond with five straight points of her own. Haymore would do the same moments later, making a layup off an assist from Coughlin and then hitting a three from the top of the key to give SLC another two-point lead. The two teams would tie at 31 and 33 before Shai Rahamim and Bessler both scored to sandwich an SLC free-throw and bring the Yeshiva lead to one. The Maccabees would maintain their lead but in the final minute Haymore would knock down two of her 12 free-throws on the day to bring the Gryphons within one point as they entered the halftime intermission.

A five-point run to open play in the second half would give the Gryphons a short-lived four-point lead before the Maccabees scored seven consecutive points on free-throws to re-assert themselves. The Gryphons would respond with four free-throws of their own and Anderson-Strawder scored a three-point play to end the half and give the Gryphons a two-point lead heading into the final 10 minutes of play.

The Gryphons and Maccabees would keep close, with the two teams finding themselves tied at 55 two minutes into the final quarter. The Gryphons would hold the Maccabees scoreless for the next six minutes, going on a 17-0 run highlighted by an Anderson-Strawder layup off a Grace Carter steal that brought the lead to 16 points. A Rahamim jumped for the Maccabees ended their drought, but it would be too late, as the Gryphons still maintained a 15-point lead. Haymore and Dorch would close the game with back-to-back layups with a minute remaining and secure a 19-point victory for the Gryphons in their first conference game of the year.

Up Next
