from behind the arc, and Jacqueline
Jackson rounded out the double-figure
scorers with 13 points, shooting 60%
from the field and pulling down 10
rebounds.
As a team, Behrend shot 43% from
the field and 65% from the free-throw
line. Washington and Jefferson couldn’t
get their offense going as they only shot
34% from the field.

Hall on December 4 and 5, where they
took third place. Behrend faced off with
Grove City in the opening round of the
tournament.
The Behrend women struggled
shooting in the first half, going 7 for 27
from the field as Grove City jumped to
an early lead. However, strong free
throw shooting from the Lions and a
half court desperation shot by Nestor
at the buzzer kept the Lady Lions in the
game. Behrend trailed only by three,
30-27, at the half.

Hendrickson, who combined for 30
points, to give Grove City the 61-54
win.

the consolation game on Saturday after
Albright bowed out to Wilmington in
the 6:00 game on Friday night. The
game would have Behrend head coach

Lions throughout the game, forcing 30
