How it Happened

The Gryphons led 30-20 at halftime, with Kelly hitting key shots to give Sarah Lawrence early momentum. Centenary then rallied in the second half, closing the gap to within a point midway through the period. However, Sarah Lawrence responded with a decisive run late in the game.

A layup by Furlong in the final minute sealed the victory and brought the Gryphons back to .500 against a strong non-conference slate to open the year.
