The Lady Lions have a two
game winning streak after beating
Pitt-Bradford this past Saturday,
69-58.
The cagers trounced Alfred
University on Feb. 13 in their
last appearance at home this
season, notching a 57-44 win
against the Lady Saxons.
Behrend (8-16) took a 35-25
halftime lead against the Lady
Panthers (5-18), shooting at an
impressive 52 percent clip from
the floor. Nine Behrend players
scored in the game, with Anne
Bonner (13) and Michelle Beisler
(11) leading the offense.
Biesler also lead the Lions
with nine rebounds. Becky
Swartz hit two buckets from 3-
point range.
At the outset of the game, the
Lady Lions held Pitt-Bradford to a
paltry 34 percent shooting effort.
Michelle Beisler, averaging 7.2
rebounds per game, said the
Panthers were a tough team
despite Behrend's statistical
advantage.

junior forward.
The team's luck in the win
bracket started by ending their
three-game losing streak with a
57-44 victory over Alfred
University (4-18).
At the half, Behrend was on
top 18-15 before blowing open
the game in the second half by
out-scoring the Saxons 39-29.
Beisler said, "We started off a
little slow. The second half we
really played like we could."
Freshman Abby Haring
pointed out, "We made our shots
and had a lot of key plays. The
team played well together. It's
been a long time since we've
worked that hard together."
Eleven players for Behrend
scored in the game. Leading
Behrend's offense once again were
Beisler with 12 points and
Bonner with 11. Also, Beisler
and Bonner collected nine
rebounds apiece.
In the first half, the team shot
a dismal 18 percent, 7-34. But in
the second half the teams field
goal percentage jumped to 45
percent.
