Lady Warriors Downed by DeSales
Leid Leads Lycoming with 16 Points

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.—Lycoming’s women’s basketball team (7-16, 2-10) fell to Freedom Conference playoff-bound DeSales (16-7, 8-4) on Saturday afternoon 74-58. Despite the losing effort, the Lady Warriors played a solid game with three players scoring in double-digits.

Freshman Becky Leid (Denver, PA) led Lycoming with 16 points on the day. Leid’s eight first-half points kept the game from getting out of control early. In fact, an eight-point Lady Warrior run to end the first half brought Lycoming back from a 32-17 deficit to go into the break 32-25.

Fellow frosh Amanda Clouse (State College, PA) and junior Michelle Wisla (Schwenksville, PA) scored 11 and 10 points respectively. Meanwhile, guard Jessica Zerbee (Duncansville, PA) displayed great frontcourt play with four assists and three steals. Still, Lycoming couldn’t stop DeSales’ LeighAnn Burke, whose 23 points (16 in the final period) kept the Lady Bulldogs on top.

DeSales is firmly entrenched in third place in the conference and will continue into the playoffs. The Lady Warriors are gelling as a unit, and with no seniors on this year’s team, they have much to look forward to next season.

But, not so fast! First, Lycoming hosts nationally ranked Scranton at Lamade Gymnasium on Tuesday, February 13 at 6:00 p.m. The Lady Royals were ranked number one in the country two weeks ago. They are now number seven.
