Box Score
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. (February 5, 2011) — The Lady Lions were nothing short of ecstatic as they got their first home win of the season and snapped a 10-game losing streak, defeating Saint Paul's College in Manuel Rivero Hall Saturday afternoon, 68-60.
Led by an extraordinary, season-high 25-point performance off of 10-22 shooting by Sharay DuBose (Salisbury, Md./Parkside HS), the Lady Lions were able to claw their way back into the game. Slowly but surely chipping away at the Lady Tigers' 12-point advantage late in the first half, LU went ahead for the first time with 6:42 left. Dubose's patented left-handed scoop would bless the net following a great pass from Danielle Smallwood (Philadelphia, PA/West Catholic) counting as one of her three assists for the afternoon.

The run was ended by a trip to the charity stripe from Charity Hart (Richmond, VA/Highland Springs) with 6:49 left to go in the half. Lincoln University would end the half trailing 32-25 but would end up turning things around in the second half.
