Box score

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. --- Delaware Valley College used a pair of big runs in each half to propel itself to a 75-57 home victory over Lycoming College in a Freedom Conference game.  The win improves Delaware Valley College to 12-5 overall and 4-2 in conference play.  The Lady Warriors fall to 4-11 and 1-5.

Delaware Valley led from start to finish but an Andrea Cooper (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) three-pointer pulled Lycoming to within four at 15-11 with 14:06 remaining. The Aggies took control over the next seven minutes as they notched 24 of the next 30 overall points scored for a 39-17 edge.

The Warriors, after weathered the Aggies’ mistake-free run, closed to within 14 at 43-29 going into the half thanks in part to four Delaware Valley miscues in the final minutes of play.

Delaware Valley still held a 14-point advantage, 56-42, with 11:54 to go in the contest. But the Lady Warriors scored seven straight to pull to within seven at 56-49 with 8:59 left on the clock.

Over the next minute and a half of play, the Aggies’ Rachel Joyce hit three free throws, but senior Amy Kile (Muncy, Pa./Muncy) hit a jumper just inside the three-point line to get Lycoming within eight at 59-51 with 7:37 remaining.

A three-point play by Brooke Dittmar spelled trouble for Lycoming as it ignited a 10-0 run by the Aggies to put the game out of reach.             

Senior Danielle Kern (Lehman, Pa./Lake-Lehman) led four Warriors in double figures with 15 points.  She also added six rebounds, four assists, and four steals to her stat line.  Cooper followed up with 14 points including a pair of long-range hits.  She also racked up six boards and four assists.  Kile and senior Stacy Lindeman (Whitehall, Pa./Whitehall) added a dozen tallies apiece to Lycoming’s efforts with the latter puling down a team-best eight rebounds.

Julie McGowan paced a quartet of double-digit scoring Aggies with 23 points and also added seven rebounds. Moira Donohue notched 20 points, five assists, four rebounds and three steals while Joyce had 15 points, seven boards, and five assists. Dittmar dropped in 10 points and added six rebounds.
