The scoring went back-and-forth for the first ten minutes of the game, but then Drew started to pull away. Lady Ranger Courtney Cunningham, who scored 14 points on the day, converted a long three-pointer as time ran out in the first period to put Drew up 35-21 at the half. Cunningham made another three to begin the second period. She was one of four Drew players to score in double digits.

For Lycoming, Renee Freeden (Summit, NJ) led the team with eight points, while Rebecca Leid (Denver, PA) pulled down 10 rebounds for the second time in the past three games. Leid scored five points, as did Amanda Hart (State College, PA) and Jessica Zerbee (Duncansville, PA).

Turnovers spelled the difference in the second half, as the Lady Rangers increased their lead. Lycoming recorded 25 turnovers for the game, while Drew had just 12.

The Lady Warriors travel to Wilkes Barre to play King’s on Wednesday, February 7 at 6:00 p.m. Lycoming then returns to Lamade Gymnasium on Saturday to take on another conference foe, DeSales. Both games will be followed by a men’s game.
