WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - With a one-game hold on second place in the MAC Commonwealth, the Lycoming College women's basketball team will head to Reading twice in a row, beginning with a key trip to Albright College on Saturday, Jan. 26, for a 3 p.m. game in the Bollman Center.
The Warriors (13-6 overall, 7-3 MAC Commonwealth) fell victim to a buzzer-beater in its last outing, a 70-69 loss to Lebanon Valley. Sophomore
Erica Lutz led the Warriors with 17 points and 13 rebounds and juniors
Akilah McFadden and
Kayla Kline each had 13 points.
The Lions (10-9 overall, 5-5 MAC Commonwealth) fell to Widener, 61-40, in its last game. Freshman Abby Gaffney had a season-high 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting to lead the team.
Warrior Notes
• With a win, Lycoming can clinch its fifth straight winning season, which would tie the school record set from 1993-98.
• Lycoming's 74-49 win over Albright on Nov. 28, was the team's largest margin of victory against the Lions. Albright beat Lycoming, 77-47, in 2008.
• Junior
Kayla Kline needs one more double-double to become the sixth player in school history to post 10 in a season. Sophomore
Erica Lutz is tied for ninth in school history with seven double-doubles this season.
• Lutz needs two more points to become the 31st player in school history to post 300 in a season and Kline is 13 away from the milestone. The pair would be just the sixth duo in program history to reach the mark in the same season.
• Kline needs eight more rebounds to become the 21st player in program history to post 400 in a career.
• Freshman
Kelly Vuz has hit a 3-pointer in each of the last five games and is averaging 7.8 points in that time.
