Ditzler out for 250th career win in Sunday showdown with Susquehanna

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Out to the team's best start in six years, the Lycoming College women's basketball team will look to help head coach Christen Ditzler reach a major milestone as it hosts rival Susquehanna University in non-conference action at Lamade Gym on Sunday, Nov. 30.

The Warriors (4-1 overall) are coming off a 65-54 win over non-conference foe Misericordia on Tuesday, Nov. 25, as both juniors Olivia Manges and Chelsea Henderson led the way with 16 points a piece. Senior Janelle Ziminski added nine rebounds in the win.

The Crusaders (3-1 overall) have been idle since a 61-41 win over Penn State Harrisburg on Nov. 23, in the championship game of the Crusaders' Tip-Off Tournament. Senior Joneida Williams led the team with 20 points in the win.

Warrior Notes
• Head coach Christen Ditzler needs one more win to reach 250 in her career. She can become the fifth coach in the athletic department's history to reach the milestone in a single sport, joining Budd Whitehill (wrestling, 374), Roger Crebs (wrestling, 341), Dutch Burch (men's basketball, 318) and Frank Girardi (football, 257).

• Junior Olivia Manges became the 30th player in school history to post 100 assists in a career against Misericordia. Sophomore Nicole Calella is five away from the milestone.

• Manges is 25 points away from becoming the 38th player in school history to reach 500 career points.

• With 124 career steals, senior Janelle Ziminski is one shy of 13th in school history, where Lonna Zook (1986-90) sits with 125.
