LYCOMING WOMEN’S BASKETBALL DEFEATS JUNIATA

HUNTINGDON, Pa. – The Lycoming College women’s basketball team traveled to Juniata College, Wednesday evening, for a non-conference contest. The Warriors forced 26 turnovers and shot nearly 80% from the free-throw line to defeat the Eagles 68-60. With the victory, Lycoming improves to 6-4 on the season, while Juniata falls to 3-7.

The Eagles controlled the action early building a seven-point lead midway through the opening period. The Warriors, however, used a 7-0 run late in the half to tie the game at 33-33.

In the second half, Lycoming built a seven-point advantage of their own only to have Juniata fight back and knot the game again at 58-58 with 4:16 to play. The rest of the game belonged to the Warrior defense as they held to Eagles to just one basket over the final four minutes, while scoring 10 points of their own to secure the eight-point victory.

Emily DiMarco (Sr./Voorhees, N.J.; Eastern) led Lycoming’s offense with 12 points. Sabrina Catrambone (So./Birchrunville, Pa.; Springfield) added 10 markers and a team-high five steals. Amy Kile (So./Muncy, Pa.; Muncy), Rebecca Pugh (So./Pine Grove, Pa.; Pine Grove), and Katy Kresge (Sr./Lehighton, Pa.; Marian Catholic) each chipped in eight points.
