Bryn Mawr, PA – Cairn University won their fourth game of the season on Monday night when they defeated non-conference foe, Bryn Mawr College, 60-55. The advantage for the Highlanders came down to free throws, as Cairn made 12 compared to Bryn Mawr's five.
 
Both teams were equal in three-point field goals made (4) and Bryn Mawr converted one more two-point field goal than Cairn in the game (23-22). The difference in free-throw shots was caused by the Owls' 18 fouls; that was compared to Cairn's 11 fouls.
 
The Owls also committed more turnovers than the Highlanders; 24 compared to 16. Kendra Stum contributed to the high turnover number by collecting nine steals for the Highlanders; one more steal and she would have had an elusive triple double.
