Girls Basketball Shuts Down Tatnall's Comeback for the Win
Archmere built a big first-quarter lead, then withstood a few comeback attempts to earn a 46-33 win over Tatnall on December 10th at home in the Moglia Fieldhouse. Bridget Malloy '26 opened up the game for the Auks, scoring on a layup following an offensive rebound, and ended the night with 18 points total. In the first quarter, Anaya Mungin '28 turned defense into offense by draining a big three-point shot after a teammate’s steal. A minute later, she was fouled while attempting a three, and made all three free throws, setting the stage for her own big night of 16 total points.
After a tough second quarter, the Auks quickly got the lead back to double figures by the third quarter. Archmere kept pounding the ball inside, and they scored the first 11 points of the quarter, with the lead reaching a game-high 17 at 32-15. The Hornets closed the deficit to 11 by the end of the quarter.
