LYCOMING WOMEN’S BASKETBALL DROPS CONFERENCE CONTEST AT SCRANTON

SCRANTON, Pa. – The Lycoming College women’s basketball team traveled to the University of Scranton, Wednesday evening, for an MAC Freedom Conference clash. The Warriors played strong defense throughout, but could not quite match the Royals on the offensive end as the home team picked up the 62-54 victory. Lycoming falls to 5-11 overall and 2-5 within the conference with the loss. The Royals improve to 15-3 overall and 6-1 in the Freedom.

The Warriors smelled upset early in the game, leading by as many as four midway through the opening period. Scranton, however, used a run just prior to halftime to carry a five-point advantage into the locker room. Lycoming continued to battle through the second half but could not regain the lead.

Lyndy LeVan (Jr./South Williamsport, PA; South Williamsport) led the Warriors with 13 points in the contest. She also grabbed six rebounds. Mindy Culp (Fr./New Columbia, PA; Milton) added 10 points, five rebounds, and three assists in the game. Katie Kresge (So./Lehighton, PA; Marian) was Lycoming’s leading rebounder with seven boards.
