Team co-captain Julia Kokonis helped ignite the Gryphon attack, coming off the bench to pour in 16 points in 18 minutes of floor time on an efficient 5-of-7 shooting and a perfect 6-6 from the free throw line.

Gryphon Take:

"We received another great, workhorse performance from Burke (Bechard). Ivana (Vujadinovic) and Julia (Kokonis) provided some great leadership, and some of our less experienced players were able to get some really meaningful minutes, so it was a great team effort." ~ Gryphon head coach Mark Walton
