While the Gryphons won handily, and the game was never in doubt, the team did not display crisp execution throughout. It was an impressive 20-point win, but they did not dominate in the same way St. Joseph-Brooklyn had on the Gryphons home floor three nights before.

The Gryphons’ most explosive scorer sat glued to the bench, and with five minutes left in the first half, a three-pointer by a Pratt sniper shooter over a tired Gryphon defense pushed the score to 28-8. A surprisingly rowdy crowd stomped on the bleachers in an attempt to will a turn-around of this disastrous home opener, but the team’s first foray into conference play had all the makings of a train wreck. Few teams could stage a comeback against Pratt, one of the conference’s strongest teams, and its tenacious zone defense. Especially not a team like the Gryphons that had only connected on one of its first nineteen shots.

Although the team from Sarah Lawrence swam their hardest, they came up short against a larger Purchase squad. Despite losing the meet, many of the swimmers clocked in some of their best times.
