KEY MOMENTS

The Penmen outscored the Greyhounds 17-9 in the period, highlighted by a game-tying 3-pointer from junior Ava Winterburn (New Boston, N.H.) and a go-ahead fast-break layup by sophomore guard Kameron St. Pierre (Swansea, Mass.) that helped SNHU take a 47-46 edge into the fourth.
  • The Penmen locked in defensively in the final stanza, limiting Assumption to just eight fourth-quarter points to secure the six-point victory.
