LANCASTER, Pa. – Down 12 points at the start of the third quarter, the Lycoming College women's basketball team, led by sophomore Meghan Dufner (Washington, N.J./Warren Hills Regional), put up 40 points in the second half, but fell in the final seconds to Penn State Harrisburg, 71-68, in a nailbiter on the final day of the Terry Greene Tip-off Classic, on Sunday, Nov. 13 at the Mayser Center.
 
Dufner finished the afternoon with 16 points, two steals, a team-leading four assists, and four rebounds and first-year Victoria Burton (Marietta, Pa./Donegal) also added 16 points, a block and six rebounds, making seven field goals. Sophomore Ashley Yoh (Myerstown, Pa./Eastern Lebanon County) notched eight rebounds to go with 12 points and junior Emily Lockard (Benton, Pa./Benton) notched a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
 
The Warriors (1-2 overall) notched 44 points in the paint, shooting 46 percent from the field.
 
The Warriors trailed 48-35 with 5:54 left in the third quarter, but finished the quarter on a 13-3 run to close within three points at the end of the quarter off a layup from Burton with 41 seconds left in the period.
 
Lockard and Burton both brought the Warriors within a point in the fourth, but Dufner gave the Warriors their first lead of the game on a fastbreak layup after stealing a pass at halfcourt with six minutes left. The Warriors were able to expand the lead to seven off a 3-pointer from Dufner made it 66-59 with 3:42 left, but Penn State Harrisburg got back into the game with eight free-throws to close within a point before Kendis Butler hit a 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining, while she was fouled. The Warriors had a shot at a game-tying 3-pointer, but it fell off the rim and the Lions (1-1 overall) got the rebound to close out the win.
 
The Lions were led by Giahny Correa who posted 20 points. Butler had 19 points and Ciani Reed-Howard notched 15 points and 10 rebounds.
 
The Warriors return to the court on Friday, Nov. 18, when they face Messiah University in the Messiah University Tip-off at 7 p.m. in Grantham, Pa.
