Warriors head to Widener looking for a critical first

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Tied for the fifth and final Commonwealth Conference playoff slot heading into the season's final three weeks, the Lycoming College women's basketball team will head to Widener University on Wednesday, Feb. 4, looking for the program's first win at the Schwartz Athletic Center.

The Warriors (13-7 overall, 5-6 Commonwealth) have won four of their last six games, including a 67-58 win over Hood on Saturday, Jan. 31. Senior Janelle Ziminski led the team with a career-high 15 points to go with six steals in the win.

The Pride (9-11 overall, 3-8 Commonwealth) are coming off their biggest win of the year, a 65-61 triumph over third-place Messiah. Senior Courtney Colella led the team with 16 points.

Warrior Notes
• The Warriors have clinched back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since the 1996-97 (17-10) and 1997-98 (15-10) campaigns.

• Junior Olivia Manges needs one more 3-pointers to become the seventh player in school history to knock down 30 in back-to-back years.

• Sophomore Nicole Calella is the seventh player in school history to post 75 assists twice in a career, reaching the mark with her second of four against Hood.

• Senior Ali Derr needs one more blocked shot to tie Julia Antonelli (2010-14) for ninth in school history with 46.

• Senior Janelle Ziminski needs three more steals to become the second player in school history to post 100 rebounds, 50 steals, 40 assists and 20 3-pointers in a season.

• Junior Chelsea Henderson is five steals from 50 on the year and Ziminski needs three to reach the milestone, where they would become the first Warrior duo to reach the mark in the same season since 1994-95.
