of the game, ultimately doubling their opponent’s score en route
to an 83-40 victory. The win improved Lycoming’s record to 4-3
overall and 1-0 within the conference. The Lady Colonels fell to

The
two teams played even through the opening 10 minutes of the game,
but with nine minutes to play in the first half the Warriors went
on a 16-0 run and never looked back. By halftime Lycoming had
stretched their lead to 24.
The
onslaught continued in the second half as the Warriors outscored
Wilkes, 38-19 en route to a final score of 83-40. The highlight of
the second half came when Lyndy LeVan (Jr./South Williamsport,
PA; South Williamsport) connected on a jump shot with nine
minutes to play that put her over 1,000 career points. LeVan
became the fastest player to score 1,000 points in the history of
