Bryn Mawr Battles, Falls to Swarthmore

BRYN MAWR, PA– The Bryn Mawr Owls fought hard Wednesday evening in the Class of 1958 Gymnasium against Centennial Conference opponent the Swarthmore College Garnet. Despite a strong third-quarter push, the Owls did not have enough time to overcome the early deficit, and fell, 72-39. 

Highlights: 

  • Swarthmore started the game hot, showing the Owls defensive pressure and sharp shooting to jump out to a 17-3 lead by the end of the first quarter. The Owls struggled to find their offensive rhythm early, with Jessica Smith contributing Bryn Mawr's lone basket in the frame. 

  • The second quarter saw the Owls fight back, as Hannah Govert and Cameron Richter helped Bryn Mawr find some footing offensively. Bryn Mawr tallied 11 points in the period but found themselves trailing at halftime, with the Garnet continuing to dominate in the paint and capitalize on second-chance opportunities. 

  • Coming out of the break, Bryn Mawr turned the tide in the third quarter, outscoring Swarthmore, 16-8. Smith led the charge with a series of tough drives and mid-range jumpers, while the defense locked down to limit Swarthmore's scoring. However, the Garnet reasserted control in the fourth, closing the game on a high note and pulling away with a 25-point final frame. 

  • Smith paced the Owls with 17 points, nine rebounds, and four steals in an impressive all-around performance. Govert added six points and three rebounds, while Richter chipped in five points off the bench. Despite the loss, Bryn Mawr battled a tough Centennial Conference opponent. 

The Owls turn their attention to Saturday, January 25th at 1:00 PM EST where they will host the Bears of Ursinus in the Class of 1958 Gymnasium for their Teacher and Professor Appreciation game.
