Women's Basketball Upended by Cheyney, 63-53

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - The Lock Haven University women's basketball team (0-4) let an 11-point halftime lead slip away in its 63-53 loss to Cheyney University tonight at the Thomas Field House. Senior forward Melissa Picarsic (Acme, Pa./Mt. Pleasant) led all Lady Eagle scorers with 13 points to go with five rebounds.

LHU had a hot first half, shooting 50 percent (11-of-22) and adding eight points from the charity stripe. The Lady Eagles started the game on a 12-3 run, with four different players contributing to those points.

Sophomore guard Allison Hall (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) hit two free throws with 7:40 left in the first half, stretching the lead to its high-point of 14 at 24-10.

The Lady Eagles managed just four points in the first 8:20 out of halftime, allowing the Wolves to gain a three-point lead on long-range shot by Ranisha Childress. The Haven would get no closer than three for the remainder of the contest.

Hall joined Picarsic as LHU's double-figure scorers, giving her seven games in a row reaching double-figures in points. Hall had a balanced effort, adding four rebounds and four steals to the cause. Sophomore Ginger Williams (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) had eight points to go with a team-high seven boards.
