Bryn Mawr College

DELHI, N.Y. – Hannah Mack set a school record for most blocks in a game as Bryn Mawr fell, 54-52, in a tightly-contested battle with SUNY Delhi on Sunday afternoon.
 
Mack blocked seven shots against Delhi and the Owls school record for most blocks in a single game. The previous record was held by three players tied at five blocks, the last of which being Meagan Murray-Bruce in 2017.  Three blocks from Jenna Vollor brought the Owls' total to ten, matching the program's record for total blocks in a game. The last time the navy and gold tallied double-digit blocks was in 2016 against Immaculata.
 
Highlights:

• Mack got the day started for Bryn Mawr (1-1) just 19 seconds in, receiving a pass at the wing from Jenny Briggs before hitting nothing but net on a deep three to open the scoring. Delhi (1-1) got on the board 30 seconds later with a jumper of their own before the Owls rushed back up the court. A missed three from Vollor was hauled in by Michelle Jiang who then found Vollor alone in the paint for the easy layup. The Broncos managed to keep the navy and gold off the board for much of the remaining time in the quarter, taking the lead at 10-5. A made free throw from Jiang ended the scoring drought for BMC who trailed 12-6 after the first frame.
• The second quarter proved to be a more defensive effort as neither side was able to score double digit points in the frame. Delhi opened the frame with a putback from Mya Aiken. Each side also made a free throw in the opening two minutes. From there Bryn Mawr and Delhi held each other scoreless for almost five minutes. The drought was broken by Maddy Patel at the 3:22 mark with a jumper. The two sides traded points back-and-forth to a 20-15 lead for the Broncos heading into halftime.
• Sydney Gelhar and Mack got the offense rolling for the Owls coming out of the break. A pair of layups from Gelhar in the opening 70 seconds moved the navy and gold within one before a jumper from Mack put Bryn Mawr ahead, 21-20. Vollor got a putback a minute later to go up three before a triple from the Broncos tied the game. Delhi slowly pulled away in the third quarter, using a 14-5 run to go up 37-28 heading into the final frame.
• The fourth saw more back and forth action at the start before until a three-pointer from Jiang at the 6:30 mark put the Owls within one possession. Mack converted a pair of free throws a minute later to pull within two. The two sides continued to exchange points down the stretch, however the Broncos were able to hold off Bryn Mawr in the final moments.
• It was an all-around performance for Mack who tallied eight points seven blocks, four steals and four rebounds. Mack went 3-for-4 from the charity strip while also draining a three-pointer. Gelhar led the team in points with 13 while Vollor ended the day with a double-double, posting 12 points and 11 assists. Briggs finished the day with 11 points while notching seven assists and four rebounds.
