Lycoming Wins Crosstown Battle
Lady Warriors Defeat Penn College at Elmira

WILLLIAMSPORT, Pa.—The Lady Warriors defeated crosstown rival Pennsylvania College of Technology in the consolation game of the Elmira Tournament on Saturday. Lycoming claims bragging rights despite 22 points by Penn College’s Amanda Ault.

The Lady Warriors were led by freshman Brittany Knopp’s (Allenwood, PA) 16 points, including a perfect 4 for 4 from the foul line. Sophomore Andrea Cooper (Hollidaysburg, PA) put in 11 points and added a team-high five rebounds and a block.

Around five minutes into the game, Penn College took an 11-8 lead, but Lycoming took over and led for most of the game. With less than 11 minutes remaining in the contest, the Lady Wildcats and Lady Warriors were tied at 45, but a pair of free throw buckets by Knopp put Lycoming up for good.

Lady Warrior Gina Manbeck (Shenandoah Valley, PA) scored a personal season-best 10 points for Lycoming. Head coach Chris Ditzler is seeing many different players step up so far this season. This could lead to powerful depth as the young Lady Warriors progress.

Lycoming plays at PSU-Altoona on December 17 at 2:00 p.m. The Lady Warriors then take a holiday break and return to Lamade Gymnasium to host their own Tournament on January 5-6.
