LYCOMING WOMEN’S BASKETBALL BOWS TO KING’S

WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Lycoming College women’s basketball team hosted King’s College, Wednesday evening, in a Freedom Conference contest. The Warriors quickly learned why the Lady Monarchs are ranked fourth in the nation, as King’s cruised to a comfortable 66-47 victory. The loss drops Lycoming’s record to 5-9 overall and 2-3 within the conference. King’s remains perfect at 14-0 overall and 5-0 in the Freedom.

The Monarchs started out strong building a 10-point lead midway through the opening period, but a nine-point run by the Warriors got them right back in the game. King’s, however, reestablished a nine-point advantage by the intermission. The second half was more of the same as the Monarchs connected in 54% of their shots to put Lycoming away.

Amy Lesko (Sr./Mountain Top, PA; Crestwood) was the Warriors’ leading scorer with 13 points. Lyndy LeVan (Jr./South Williamsport, PA; South Williamsport) added 11 markers. Mindy Culp (Fr./New Columbia, PA; Milton) led the squad in rebounding with seven boards.
