The Griffins enter tonight's game with a 1-1 record having earned a split of their two games at the ECC/CACC Challenge hosted by Queens College in Flushing, New York.  Chestnut lost their opener to Molloy 66-51 on Saturday  before rallying to defeat host Queens College, 71-67.  Leah Miller leads the Griffins averaging 16 points while Cassie Sebold and Emily Chmiel are averaging 11.5 points apiece through the first two games.

Last time Out
The Chestnut Hill College Women's Basketball team made six free throws in the final 39 seconds of a wild fourth quarter as they held off host Queens College 71-67 to earn their first win of the season Sunday afternoon at the ECC/CACC Challenge in Flushing, New York.

The six free throws highlighted an 8-2 run over the final 1:36 which saw the Griffins overcome a slim Knights lead and pull away with the win.   The fourth quarter saw a total of nine lead changes with the Griffins tasking the lead for good on a traditional three-point play by freshman Emily Chmiel with 33 seconds left.   Chmiel scored eight of her 13 points in the fourth quarter including four in the final 39 seconds.

Leah Miller scored six of her game-high 22 points (9-16 FG) in the fourth quarter.  Miller also had six rebounds and two assists.  Cassie Sebold fell one assist shy of a double-double, scoring 12 points and dishing out nine assists.  The senior guard also had two steals.  Chmiel added seven rebounds to go along with her 13 points.  Kaitlyn Carter finished the game with nine points, four steals and four assists.

Miller Named to CACC Weekly Honor Roll
 Leah Miller was named to the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Women's Basketball Weekly Honor Roll for her performance in the Griffins two games last weekend at the ECC/CACC Challenge at Queens College.

Miller scored 22 points and grabbed six rebounds in Sunday's game against host Queens College.  The senior forward connected on nine of 16 shots from the field and added four more points from the free throw line.  Miller scored six of her 22 points in the final quarter as the Griffins rallied to earn a four-point 71-67 win.

In the opening game of the tournament on Saturday, Miller had ten points and four rebounds.  She also added a block, a steal and two assists while making five of nine shots from the field.

For the week, Miller averaged 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.  She made 14 of 25 shots for a 56% field goal percentage and was 4-for-5 from the free throw line (80%).

An  Impressive Debut
Freshman Emily Chmiel came off the bench on Saturday to score 10 points and grab a team high nine rebounds in the Griffins 66-51 loss to Molloy.  The 6-2 freshman also had three blocks and two steals against the Lions.  Chmiel was the Griffins top rebounder the next day grabbing seven boards in CHC's win over Queens while scoring 13 points.   

Scouting the Marauders
The Marauders have a new head coach for the first time since the 1990-91 season as Sharay Hall takes over for Mary Fleig who retired at the end of the 2019-20 season. 
Millersville is led Lauren Lister. Lister got off to a slow start in the first game, only managing to record four points. However, the senior bounced back in fashion, scoring 24 points, including nine in a huge third-quarter comeback to lift the Marauders to their first victory of the season. Lister shot 9-12 from the field in the win, this included the only Millersville make from beyond the arch.
Lister had some help from new-name Marauders including, Makiah Shaw. The freshman averaged 7.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and recorded a block and steal in each game. She scored six points and recorded five boards in the win over Shaw. Another first-year Marauder that played well was La'shrya Williams, she scored 12 points to go along with six rebounds in the win.
Ty Taylor and Mia Leonard provided experience for the Marauders, especially during their first win of the season. Taylor was a defensive nightmare for Shaw, recording four steals in her 24 minutes. Leonard had a near double-double chance in the first game, scoring eight to go with seven boards.
Hall's defensive minded team forced 43 turnovers over the weekend, this included 18 steals and nine blocked shots. 
 
Last Time Out for Millersville
Millersville forced 24 turnovers and held Shaw to just 32.7% shooting from the field as they defeated the Bears 68-55 for their first win of the season.
Lauren Lister led the way in Millersville's first win of the season, scoring a game-high 24 points on 9-of-12 shooting. Lister also grabbed four rebounds and sent out an assist in the effort. La'shyra Williams contributed with 12 points to go along with a team-high six rebounds of her own in the victory. Brenna Ortwein scored nine in the win. 
Millersville held the edge on the board, out-rebounding Shaw 43-35 and out-scoring Shaw in the second half, 42-20.
