A 9-0 Chestnut Hill run to open the second half put some distance between themselves and the Lions with a 39-27 lead just 2:15 into the half.  Two minutes later, the Lions had the lead down to five but the Griffins again pushed the lead back to double figures and led by ten 57-47 with 7:40 remaining.  Seven straight points from the Lions followed as they made it a one possession game 54-54 with 5:40 left in regulation.
