Lady Warriors Drop Second Conference Game

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Lycoming women’s basketball team came up on the wrong end of a 29-point decision as the FDU-Florham Lady Devils defeated Lycoming 71-42 on Saturday afternoon.  Lycoming drops to 1-5, 0-2 while Lady Devils improve to 4-2, 2-1. 

The Warriors defense could not hold the Devils in either half allowing 38 points in the first half and 33 in the second.  Although the Devils had 23 turnovers, Lycoming couldn’t take advantage as they suffered from 23 miscues as well.

Leading the Warriors’ attack was Danielle Kern (Lehman, Pa./Lake-Lehman) with 11 points on 4-of-4 shooting from the field.  Fellow seniors Amy Kile (Muncy, Pa./Muncy) and Stacy Lindeman (Whitehall, Pa./Whitehall) contributed 10 points each shooting but did so on a combined 7-for-24 effort from the field.

FDU-Florham was lead by Jessie Chalmers with 17 points and 5 assists.  Emily Cerankowski added 14 points while Danielle Yasko contributed 12 points and 4 assists.  The Devils were 7 of 12 from three-point range and 14 of 20 from the free throw line.

The Devils shot very well with a 53.2 percent overall clip while Lycoming shot a season-low 24.5 percent on 13-of-53 from the field including 2-of-15 from beyond the arc. 

Lycoming’s defense made shooters think twice about driving into the paint.  The Warriors blocked a season-high five shots with freshman Andrea Cooper (Holidsaysburg, Pa./Holidsaysburg) swatting four shots away from the bucket.

The Warriors look to break their four-game skid this Tuesday, December 6, when they host PSU-Altoona for a non-conference match.  Game time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. in Lamade Gymnasium.
