PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Senior Lyric Grumblatt (Manchester Memorial) further etched her name in the Rivier women’s basketball annals as she eclipsed the 2,000-point plateau on Tuesday night at Plymouth State. Grumblatt poured in a game-high 28 points and led the Raiders to a 55-40 victory in Foley Gym.
PSU held on to a narrow one-point lead after the first quarter of action, 13-12, but Rivier outscored the Panthers 22-12 in the second stanza to take a 34-25 edge to the locker room. The Raiders put the clamps down in the second half as they held the Panthers to just 15 second-half points.
The win is the first of the season for Rivier, who improves to 1-5 overall, while the loss drops the Panthers to 2-5. Rachel Guinn also netted double-digits for the Raiders with 10 points. PSU was paced by 14 points from Alli Ingalls (Pinkerton) and a game-high 10 rebounds from Elli Cox (Concord).
Both squads are off for the holiday break with Riv returning to action on Dec. 3 versus Framingham State and PSU hosts UMass Dartmouth on Dec. 4.
