WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Shooting 54 percent from the floor and scoring 31 points in transition were more than enough for the Lycoming College women's basketball team on Tuesday evening, as it used two 30-point quarters to power past crosstown compadre, Penn College, 99-59, in non-conference action at Lamade Gym.
 
Four Warriors (4-1 overall) finished in double figures, led by 14 points off the bench from sophomore Alex Jones (Glenshaw, Pa./Saint Joseph), who hit three 3-pointers and added three steals. Senior Morgan Mader (Cresco, Pa./Pocono Mountain East) hit 4-of-5 from downtown, as she also finished with 14 points and two steals and senior Kayla Kline (Mifflinburg, Pa./Mifflinburg Area) dropped in 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

Freshman Tess Arnold (Elmira, N.Y./Elmira) also had six points.  
The Warriors knocked out several milestones in the game, as McFadden became the first Warrior in program history to post 400 rebounds and 250 assists with her first of two boards. She also moved into fourth in school history with 196 career steals. Kline became the 11^th player in school history to post 500 career rebounds with her last one and Lutz became the fifth player to post 100 blocks in a career with her third of five rejections.
 
Lycoming took control with a 26-3 run over the last 8:23 of the first quarter, as Jones led the run with 11 points and Mader added nine. Penn College was 0-for-9 from the field in that span, turning the ball over 12 times. The Warriors turned down the pressure in the second quarter, but still took a 46-21 lead into the break.
 
In the third quarter, Lycoming hit 78 percent (14-of-18) of its shots, including all three of its 3-pointers, scoring 33 points and taking a 79-43 lead into the fourth, where it would lead by as many as 44 before Penn College closed the game on a 13-9 run in the final 5:35.
