SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Joanna Skiba's put-back with just over two minutes left gave Bryant a 61-60 lead and the Bulldogs would hold on for a 65-61 come-from-behind win over Southern New Hampshire Thursday afternoon at the Comfort Suites Holiday Tournament hosted by Bryant.   Skiba finished with 14 points and five assists as the Bulldogs evened their record to 5-5 on the year. 
    Trailing by as much as 10 in the second half, Bryant closed out the game on a 12-1 run as Skiba would later score on a fast break layup after an Erin Murphy steal at midcourt with 1:53 left to put the Bulldogs up 63-60. 
    Southern New Hampshire would pull to within 63-60 after a free throw by Danielle Graunke with just over a minute to go.
    After a Bryant turnover on the Bulldogs' next possession, Southern New Hampshire's Stephanie Houghton was long on a three-point attempt and Shannon Perry was there to grab the rebound for the Bulldogs and was immediately fouled.  Perry, playing in just her second game for Bryant, hit both free throws to seal the victory.  She finished with a game-high 19 points and 11 rebounds – her second-straight game with a double-double.
    Southern New Hampshire (1-9) led 38-32 at the half after shooting 54.8 percent from the floor, but cooled off in the second half, making just 9 of 25 from the field and finished the game shooting 39.4 percent.  Chrisondria Griffith paced the Penmen with 14 points and six rebounds while Alex Giannopoulou and Houghton each finished with 11 points.  SNHU attempted just six free throws, making four.
      Bryant (5-5) finished the game shooting 31.7 percent from the floor and made 23 of 32 free throw attempts.  Alyssa Michella had nine points coming on three 3-pointers while Murphy contributed eight points and four rebounds plus three steals.
