Bryn Athyn College faced Gallaudet University for the second time in a week after a 64-50 victory last Tuesday, November 29 over the Bisons. This time around, the Lions continued their strong performance but had to overcome the Bisons' strong first half. The Lions rallied during the fourth quarter to recover from a slow start early and secured a 61-49 victory. The Lions remain perfect, 4-0, in the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) games.

After two more baskets from the Bisons, the Lions found themselves behind 9-1. From there, the lions used a 10-4 run to finished the quarter and cut the deficit to two.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lions trailed 23-21 and it was not until the opening third quarter on a jump shot by Samantha Hicks and a three pointer by Je'la Watson that gave the Lions their first lead of the game, 26-23. Another basket from Watson followed by a three pointer from senior guard Keana Schoennagle extended the Lions' advantage 31-23. The Bisons then scored the next eight points to even the contest at 31 apiece. The Bisons eventually close out the third quarter taking a 44-39 lead into the final stanza. 

In the final period, the Lions wasted no time to get in attack mode and score 18 straight points for a commanding 57-44 lead.
