WARRIOR WOMEN’S BASKETBALL DOMINATES DREW

MADISON, NJ – The Lycoming College women’s basketball team traveled to Drew University, Wednesday evening, for a critical Freedom Conference match-up. The Warriors used a nearly flawless second half to blow the Rangers out of their own gym by a final score of 80-50. Lycoming improves to 10-11 overall and 5-6 in the conference with the win. Drew falls to 11-11 and 3-8.

The first half was back-and-forth throughout with the Warriors clinging to a slim 25-23 lead at the break. The Rangers opened the second half with a basket and a free throw to take their last lead of the game. Emily DiMarco (Jr./Voorhees, NJ; Eastern) responded for Lycoming by hitting back-to-back three-pointers that sparked an 18-0 run over a five minute span that doomed Drew.

The Warriors went on to shoot 77% from the field in the second half, including 4-for-4 from behind the arc. The Rangers, on the other hand, made just 25% of their attempts as Lycoming ran away with a 30-point victory.

DiMarco was Lycoming’s leading scorer with 13 points. Amy Herschman (So./Northampton, PA; Northampton) added 11 markers and Mindy Culp (So./New Columbia, PA; Milton) chipped in 10 points. Amanda Walker (Fr./Lock Haven, PA; Central Mountain) pulled down a game-high nine rebounds while scoring eight points. Michelle Stine (So./Mill Hall, PA; Central Mountain) led the squad with eight assists in the contest.
