LH women’s basketball extends win streak with PSAC East road win
MANSFIELD, PA – Behind a balanced scoring night that saw four Bald Eagles net double figures and an all-around strong defensive effort, the Lock Haven University women’s basketball team (7-6, 5-3 PSAC) soared to a big, 73-57, road-win Wednesday evening at Mansfield University (1-11, 0-8 PSAC).
With the win, Lock Haven pushed above .500 at 7-6 overall, and the Bald Eagles moved to 5-3 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) play. LHU extended its win streak to three games with all three games coming in PSAC Eastern Division action. The victory pushed The Haven into a tie for second in the PSAC East standings.
Jenadia Jordan (Lititz, Pa./Linden Hall) finished with a career and game-high 19 points as she paced four Lock Haven players in double-figures. Alana Robinson (Rockaway, N.J./Pope John Paul II) netted 14 points, Brooke Lawyer (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) scored 13 points, and Jackie Fetsko (Marion Center, Pa./Marion Center) tallied a 10-point outing.
Jordan had a tremendous game all-around and she chipped in with five rebounds, four assists, and three steals.
Robinson led a sensational defensive effort and she finished with eight rebounds to go along with six assists, and six blocks. The six blocks are most recorded in a single game by a Lock Haven women’s player since February 7, 2007, and the six blocks are tied for the most produced by a player in PSAC women’s hoops to date, this season.
Adaliz Corbin (Altoona, Pa./Altoona) added seven points and six rebounds and Taylor Leidy (Alexandria, Pa./Juniata Valley) finished with five points and seven rebounds as it was truly a total-team effort that led the Bald Eagles to the dominating victory on the road tonight up north in Tioga County.
Lock Haven forced 21 Mansfield turnovers and The Haven held a strong advantage on the glass.
For Mansfield, Jasmine Hinton scored 16 points and was one of two Mounties who scored in double figures.
