LADY WARRIORS COME UP SHORT AGAINST BULLDOGS

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Lycoming College women’s basketball team hosted DeSales University (formerly Allentown) in the opening game of a MAC Freedom Conference doubleheader. The Lady Warriors could not generate enough offense to catch the Bulldogs, who went on to win 53-48.

Lycoming shot just 27% from the field in the first half, but rebounding and steals kept them within four of DeSales. However, the shooting did not improve for the Lady Warriors in the second half as they converted just 4-of-16 shots from the floor.

Adrienne Wydra (Sr./Ashland; North Schuylkill) was the game’s leading scorer with 14 points and leading rebounder with 12 boards. She also tallied four steals and a pair of assists. Lyndy LeVan (So./South Williamsport; South Williamsport) added 13 points and six rebounds. Katie Santo (Jr./Scotch Plains, NJ; Union Catholic) chipped in 11 points on the strength of three three-point field goals.

The loss dropped Lycoming’s record to 7-10 overall and 3-6 within the Freedom Conference. DeSales improves to 14-3 and 7-2. The Lady Warriors are home again for their next game, hosting nationally ranked University of Scranton, Wednesday evening at 6 p.m.
