TOPPED BY SLIPPERY ROCK, 69-59

Slippery
Rock
University
(13-14, 5-7 PSAC West) squad over the Lady Eagles,
69-59, in what was both teams’ final contest of
the season. Lock

outscored Slippery Rock, 33-32, but first half
differential proved to be too large to dig out of.

points, 50-34, with
13:44
remaining, and the Lady Eagles battled to within
six points on three occasions, including a 65-59
deficit with 28 seconds remaining. Slippery Rock

their second win in the PSAC Western Division with
the 72-64 decision over the visiting Indiana (Pa.)

snaps a five-game skid dating back to Jan. 21.
The Lady Eagles shot 45-percent in the
first half and held
Indiana
to only 19 points, shooting just over 18-percent
from the floor, for the 35-19 lead going into

The Haven would need that extra cushion, as

at the deficit until it had come within five
points, 57-52, at
4:42
. Lock
Haven was able to fire back as time faded,

(Edinboro, Pa.)
– The Lock Haven
University women’s basketball team (7-13, 1-6

as the Fighting Scots of Edinboro University
(16-6, 4-3 PSAC West) defeated the Lady Eagles
61-35 in Edinboro’s McComb Fieldhouse.
The Lady Eagles kept things close
throughout the first half, both teams shooting

unstoppable in the second half, however, shooting
50-percent from the floor to pile on another 36
points. The Lady Eagles only bucketed five field
goals the entire half, held to a dismal
18.5-percent shooting performance for just 15
points.

was unable to survive a late
Slippery

in conference action this afternoon. In the loss,
Lady Eagle senior Cyndi
Crowl (Stroudsburg/Stroudsburg) reached the
1,000-point plateau after an 11-point
contribution, only the 11th Lock Haven
women’s basketball player in history and the
first since the 1997 season to achieve the
milestone.
Lock Haven had stormed out to a 25-18 lead
by the halftime intermission. The Rock had battled
back to tie up the game numerous times in the
second half, taking over the lead and building it
to as large as four point, 48-44, with
7:12
remaining. The Lady Eagles would answer and tie up
the game once more, and then a three pointer by Elizabeth Gabrielle (State College/State College) at
4:45
put LHU out into a 51-48 lead.
That small spark would not be enough to
hold down the home team forces, however, as the
Rock turned out a 10-0 rally over the remainder of
the game to steal away the victory, 58-51.
Lock Haven’s Elizabeth Gabrielle led the
team in scoring with 16 points, including three
treys, along with six assists.

deficit, 31-17.
The Golden Eagles built as much as a 23
point lead, 49-26, at

followed, including six points from Amanda
Jones (Middletown/Middletown), to pick up the
tempo of the Haven offense and shrink the lead
down to 13 points, 49-36, at
8:44
. The
Haven was unable to cut that deficit to under 10
points with the teams exchanging baskets
throughout the rest of the game. A three-pointer
from Gabrielle with 33 seconds remaining brought
the score to 66-56, but five free throws by
Clarion closed out the game at 71-56 in the Golden

back into the game after the slow start, getting
to within one point on a jumper by Crowl, 27-26,

rapidly, as both squads battled to break open the
game. The Lady Eagles built a 53-45 lead by 10:19,

with a mid-range jumper at the two-minute mark,

Amanda Zinobile to the line. Zinobile made both to
tie up the game, 64-64, with 20 seconds to go.
The Lady Eagles brought the ball up the
court and worked it around the arc before Allison

fell short as LHU took the 66-64 victory.
