WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - With one game left to its regular season, the Lycoming College women's basketball team will have a tough task as it tries to lock up its third straight Commonwealth Conference Tournament berth when it heads to first-place Stevenson on Tuesday night, Feb. 17.
The Warriors (15-9 overall, 7-8 Commonwealth) fell to Lebanon Valley, 53-49, on Saturday, Feb. 14, a loss that leaves the team a half-game out of the final tournament slot heading into the showdown with Stevenson (20-2 overall, 14-0 Commonwealth), meaning a win might be needed to reach the postseason.
The Mustangs are coming off an 85-58 win over Hood on Saturday, Feb. 14. Sophomore
Sara Tarbert, a transfer from UMBC, led the team with 19 points.
