Junior Morgan Mader (Cresco, Pa./Pocono Mountain East) notched 10 points, hitting two 3-pointers, and junior Kayla Kline (Mifflinburg, Pa./Mifflinburg) posted nine points and six rebounds.

After fighting through three ties and seven lead changes in the first 25 minutes of the game, Lycoming tied the game at 39 on a layup by freshman Kelly Vuz (Blairstown, N.J./North Warren Regional) and took the lead when senior Jenn Grove (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) found Vuz for another layup with 3:16 left in the third quarter. Grove followed with a jumper and Lutz scored the last five points of the quarter, giving Lycoming a 48-39 lead at the end of the quarter.
 
Lycoming added seven more straight points to start the fourth quarter, with McFadden posting five of them, to make it 55-39 with 7:42 left, wrapping up the run of 16 straight points. Penn College cut within 11 with four minutes left, but Lycoming scored the last six points of the game.

Lycoming was able to retake the lead and led for all but one possession of the second quarter, taking a 30-29 lead into the break. Penn College took the lead back three times in the third quarter before Lycoming's 16-point run.
