Box Score Philadelphia, Pa. – (11/16/2012) – In a high-paced affair, Chestnut Hill College fell to Molloy College by an 83-81 final. The visiting Lions attacked from long range, taking 40 of their 73 shots from three-point territory, while the Griffins kept pace with a better field percentage (43.5% - 35.6%) and some grit.

Over the next four minutes they traded runs until a Gorczynski three, her only long range bucket of the night (1-of-11, .091), and a Laing layup left the Griffins up three 81-78. Unfortunately, the Lions quickly answered Laing's lay-in with one of their own, 81-80 (0:41), before an ill-timed Griffin turnover allowed the Lions to a go-ahead bucket, 82-81 (0:32) and an insurance free throw, 83-81 (0:09), in the final seconds.
