Lycoming Falls to Rowan in Consolation
Nabholz Named to All-Tournament Team

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.—Lycoming’s women’s basketball team faced a tough Rowan University squad on Saturday in the consolation game of the Lady Warriors’ “Hoops for Hounds” Tournament. When the final buzzer sounded, Rowan emerged with a 63-58 victory. Following the game, freshman Jessica Nabholz (Cressona, PA) was named to the All-Tournament Team.

Less then three minutes after tip-off, Nabholz sunk a three-pointer to put the Lady Warriors up 10-2, but Rowan battled back with marked tenacity. The score teetered back and forth, resting on 29-28 Lycoming at the half. Nabholz led all scorers with nine points in the first period.

Rowan scored six unanswered points to begin the second half, but the Lady Warriors also stormed back. Lycoming gave a determined effort throughout, but the Lady Profs were ultimately too much.

Rebecca Leid (Denver, PA) led the Lady Warriors with 12 points on the afternoon, while Jessica Zerbee (Duncansville, PA) put up 10 points. Rowan’s sharpshooting Brynn DeGroff scored 34 points over the weekend to earn a spot on the “Hoops for Hounds” All-Tournament Team.
