KEY SEQUENCE

Gannon used a 10-2 scoring surge to cap the third quarter for a 52-42 lead before ultimately preserving a 74-65 victory over host Alaska Fairbanks on Friday. The Lady Knights shot 52.9% (27-52) from the floor in the game and rolled up 27 points from the bench.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Gannon got off to a hot offensive start early with a 10-2 run to start the game. Chelsea Rourke (Gibsonia, Pa./Pine-Richland) scored the opening basket of the contest, while Sydney Mitchell (Halethorpe, Md./Seton Keough) and Aiora Rivas (Ibiza, Spain/IES CTEIB) sunk three-pointers. Nicole LaCava (Hermitage, Pa./Hickory) capped the early surge with a layup at the 7:02 mark in the opening quarter.
Alaska Fairbanks worked its way back into the game, but back-to-back baskets from Sam Pirosko (Eastlake, Ohio/Eastlake North) and Haley Tewes (Waterford, Mich./Waterford Kettering) pushed the Gannon lead to 14-7 in the first quarter. Lauren Tewes (Waterford, Mich./Waterford Kettering) stepped back beyond the arc and knocked down her second three-pointer of the season with just over one minute showing on the first quarter clock.
With its lead quickly cut to five points (20-15) to start the second quarter, Rourke quickly countered with a three at the 9:06 mark. A layup from Rivas at 7:59 in the second pushed the Gannon edge back to double-digits at 25-15 and a three from Breanna Ransom (Brewerton, N.Y./Paul V. Moore) at 3:53 left in the half kept Gannon in front.
Alaska Fairbanks rallied with a strong finish to the opening half, using an 11-3 run following the Ransom three-pointer for a 36-33 lead. Tori Obenrader (Fryburg, Pa./North Clarion) cashed in from beyond the arc as time expired in the first half to tie things at 36 heading into intermission.
Baskets from Rivas and Rourke helped Gannon open the second half on a high note before a three from Boston McKinney (Bolivar, Ohio/Tuscarawas Valley) at the 2:02 mark of the third quarter expanded the lead to 51-42. Fairbanks opened the final quarter of play with the first two baskets, but layups from LaCava and Rourke carried Gannon to a nine-point lead at 56-47 with 6:59 remaining in the game.
Elise Torrence (Bexley, Ohio/Bexley) scored her second basket of the season in just her second game with a layup at 4:49. She helped Gannon balloon its lead to 15 with a layup at 2:47 in the fourth quarter. Despite several spurts from Alaska Fairbanks which saw the Nanooks cut Gannon's lead to single-digits, the Lady Knights held on for the remainder of the matchup.
Gannon used some strong foul shooting down the stretch, making five of their last seven attempts at the charity stripe.
