Lady Warriors Thump York to Earn First Win

PITTSFORD, N.Y. – All five Lady Warrior starters scored in double figures as the Lycoming women’s basketball won its first game of the season 78-51 against York College (N.Y.) as part of the Ramada Inn Invitational at St. John Fisher College on Saturday afternoon.  Lycoming improves to 1-1 on the season while York falls to 0-2.

Seniors Danielle Kern (Lehman, Pa./Lake-Lehman) and Amy Kile (Muncy, Pa./Muncy) both notched 16 points.  Kern added seven rebounds and four steals to her totals while Kile registered five boards and just as many takeaways.

Freshman Andrea Cooper (Holidaysburg, Pa./Holidaysburg) and senior Stacy Lindeman (Whitehall, Pa./Whitehall) added 15 tallies apiece while sophomore Michelle Wisla (Schwenksville, Pa./Perkiomen Valley) chipped in 10 points.  Cooper included seven rebounds in her stat line while Lindeman recorded six.  Wisla led the squad with five assists.

York was led by a game-best 21 points from Jenny Deida and was supported by Desiree Patton’s 12-point effort.  Tabitha McClamy grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds.

Lycoming shot a sparkling 54.9 percent from the field for the game including an 18 for 29, 62.1 percent showing in the first half.  In contrast, the Warriors held York to only 26.5 percent shooting for the contest.

The Warriors enjoyed a 46-23 lead at halftime and in a sight quite pleasing to head coach Christen Ditzler, her young squad increased its margin in the second frame instead of giving York an opportunity to come back.

Lycoming is next in action on Tuesday, November 22, as the Warriors travel to College Misericordia.  Game time is schedule for 6:00 p.m.
