WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Heading into the holiday break, the Lycoming College women's basketball team will look to even its MAC Commonwealth record when Alvernia University comes to Lamade Gym on Tuesday, Nov. 13, for a 6 p.m. tip-off.

Junior Shelby Mueller led the team with 16 points and 13 rebounds and junior Haley Sipple added 15 points and nine rebounds.

The Crusaders (0-7 overall, 0-3 MAC Commonwealth) fell victim to the conference's only remaining undefeated team in its last outing, falling to Messiah, 72-48. Sophomore Maya Cooper led the team with 14 points.
