Warriors ready for final challenge before holiday break

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - After a weeklong layoff for final exams, the Lycoming College women's basketball team will get back into action on Saturday, Dec. 12, when it will look to improve to 3-0 in MAC Commonwealth play when it hosts Arcadia University at Lamade Gym.

The Warriors (5-3 overall, 2-0 MAC) posted a 69-61 win over the defending conference champions, Stevenson, in their last outing, thanks to a 19-point effort from senior Olivia Manges and 10 points and 11 assists from junior Nicole Calella.

The Knights (4-4 overall, 0-2 MAC Commonwealth) are coming off a 59-50 win over Bryn Athyn on Wednesday, Dec. 9. Before that, the Knights opened MAC Commonwealth play with losses to Messiah (54-49) and Lebanon Valley (72-44).

Warrior Notes
• The Warriors lead the MAC Commonwealth with a .739 free throw percentage and a 4.13 turnover margin.

• Senior Chelsea Henderson needs three more points to become the 40th player in school history to score 500 in a career.

• Senior Olivia Manges needs 14 more points to become the 23rd player in school history to score 700 in a career.

• Manges needs to hit one more 3-pointer to become the eighth player in school history to hit 100 in a career.

• Manges is five steals shy of becoming the 26th player in school history to post 100 in a career. Along with Calella and Henderson, she would be a part of the first trio in school history to have 100 steals each accumulated in their careers playing at the same time.

• Sophomore Shelby Mueller needs one more point to become the 40th player in school history to score 100 in her first two years with the team.
