SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – A double-double performance by freshman Morgan Griffith highlighted a group of four Raiders in double figures on Saturday afternoon as the Shippensburg University women's basketball team earned an 82-71 victory over PSAC newcomer Seton Hill from Heiges Field House.

The Griffins (6-5) stormed back midway through the second half when they went on an 11-2 run that lasted nearly five minutes to cut the SU lead to 57-55.

Sophomore Stephanie Knauer ended the surge, however, with a three-pointer with 6:53 left as SU out-scored the Griffins 22-16 the rest of the way.
