Box Score Philadelphia, Pa. – (2/18/2014) – Chestnut Hill College separated from a 34-30 halftime advantage for a 14-point, 75-61, Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) victory over Georgian Court University tonight with junior guards Olivia Gorczynski (Parlin, N.J.) and Shayla Felder (Cheltenham, Pa.) leading the Griffins through the first-half and junior guard Tenisha Townsend-Mobley (Pleasantville, N.J.) and sophomore guard Brittany McDonough (Brooklyn, N.Y.) directing the second-half action.

Chestnut Hill College (8-16, 6-11) led for a large majority of the first half, but a late Georgian Court University (3-21, 2-14) push, led by junior forward Tahira Matthews (Bloomfield, N.J.), brought the Lions a one-point lead, 30-29, with 1:40 remaining in the frame. Relentless in pursuit of the basket, Felder drew a foul on the Griffins next possession and cashed in the two free throws to return the home side to the advantage, 31-30, with 0:58 second to go. After a pair of Farrow blocks on the ensuing Lion possession, Gorczynski sent the Griffins to the locker room with a four-point halftime lead, 34-30, on a last-second (0:08) three pointer. In the second half, the Griffin backcourt leadership changed hands as Townsend-Mobley and McDonough escorted the home team to an 11-point lead, 46-35 (13:34), before expanding the deficit to as many as 16 points, 75-59 (0:09), in the final seconds of play.
 
Matthews did everything for the Lions, dominating their half of the box score with 29 points, 16 rebounds, two assists, a block, and five steals. Her best support came from senior guard Brittany Baker (Waldorf, Md.), who offered eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two steals.
