Bryn Mawr College

DELHI, N.Y. – The Bryn Mawr basketball team opened the 2026-27 season in the win column, taking down the Albany College of Pharmacy, 71-45, at the Delhi Tip-Off Tournament on Saturday night.
 
Highlights:

• Albany College of Pharmacy (2-1) got on the board first with a three-pointer and a layup in the opening minute. Jenna Vollor recorded the first basket of the season for Bryn Mawr (1-0), tipping in the rebound from a Sydney Gelhar three pointer. It took just 29 seconds for Hannah Mack to tie the game with a triple of her own. Those points swung the early momentum in the Owls favor as they kicked off a 22-5 run that last most of the first quarter. Four different members of the navy and gold scored in the stretch, including Jenny Briggs and Michelle Jiang. The Panthers were able to close the gap slightly near the end of the quarter, cutting the Owls' lead to 24-16 after the opening ten minutes of action.
• An early foul in the second frame sent Sam Howland to the free-throw line for the Panthers, who converted both shots. Those would prove to be the last points for ACOP for a nearly eight minutes as the Bryn Mawr defense held the Panthers of the board. During that span, the Owls posted 16 points from six different players, including Bridget Barron and Maddy Patel. Albany College of Pharmacy finally ended its scoring drought at the 2:06 mark with a layup form Howland but would not manage anything else as a 21-4 quarter for the Owls sent Bryn Mawr into halftime with a 45-20 lead.
• Gelhar opened the third quarter for with a layup just 18 seconds into what would prove to be a tightly-contested second half. The two sides-battled back and forth throughout the frame, with neither side scoring more than two consecutive baskets. Bryn Mawr outscored the Panthers in the third quarter, 13-11, capped off by a layup from Keaton Olsen Fine with 14 seconds remaining.
• Cameron Richter's tip-in layup scored the first bucket of the fourth quarter 88 seconds in before a defensive stop set up Olsen Fine for a layup 26 seconds after Richters basket. It took over two minutes for either side to score again as the Panthers brought the drought with a pair of made free throws. The two sides then quickly traded layups before another two minutes scoreless stretch.  Bryn Mawr was able to keep ACOP at bay for the remainder of the game, taking the contest 71-45.
• Mack led the team in points with 12, going 5-for-10 from the floor while hauling in six rebounds. She also tallied two assists and two steals. Jiang and Briggs each finished with ten points on the night. Jiang went 4-for-8 with a pair of threes and four rebounds while Briggs went 3-for-4 from the lien and posted four rebounds and three assists.
