UpdatedOn Nov. 11, the St. Joseph’s women’s basketball team defeated Yale, 59-54, for its second win of the young season.Griffin, in her 25th season and 22nd at St. Joe’s, spent three years as the head coach at Loyola University in Maryland before returning to the school where she had played her college basketball and graduated in 1991.
While playing at St. Joe’s, Griffin recorded 662 points, 278 rebounds, 197 steals, and 510 assists, which is fourth-most in program history.
