HAVILAND – Leading by three with just over two minutes left in the first half, the Wayne Trace Lady Raiders closed the second quarter by scoring 11 straight points and pulled away from there for a 58-37 victory over visiting Continental Tuesday night.
A Sydnee Sinn bucket ignited the run, which was then continued with baskets from Rachel Stoller and Sinn to turn a 22-19 lead into a 28-19 advantage.
Penn State women’s basketball (8-11, 5-10 Big Ten) picked up its fourth straight loss in a 87-72 defeat to Nebraska (11-9, 9-8 Big Ten) Sunday afternoon.
Despite the outcome, Maddie Burke and Makenna Marisa shined for the blue and white all game. The freshman-sophomore duo combined for 41 points (tallying 20 and 21, respectively) and nine three-pointers.
How It Happened
Marisa opened scoring roughly a minute into the contest by knocking down a pair of free throws. One possession later, Niya Beverly buried a three-pointer to help the Lady Lions jump out to a 5-2 lead.
Nebraska answered the call with a three-ball of its own, quickly tying the score. The Cornhuskers then went on a quick 5-0 offensive run to take their first lead of the ballgame in what was an early stretch of back-and-forth basketball.
