Lincoln (PA) Top Performers:
 

• Walker who was limited in action on the floor due to four fouls rewarded Head Coach Janice Washington's faith in her with the go-ahead bucket.

 

• Kania Pollock (Queens, N.Y./The Mary Louis Academy) came off the bench to lead all scorers via 15 points and led the Lions in rebounds as well, pulling down seven boards.

 

• Jaleesa Lanier (Easton, Pa./Bethlehem Catholic) set a new personal benchmark for field goals made with a career-high six, accounting for two of the game's three triples.

 

• D'Ayzha Atkinson (Philadelphia, Pa./Neumann-Goretti) snatched her third multi-steal (2) outing of her debut season, tying with reigning CIAA Defensive Player of the Week Anyssa Fields (Long Branch, N.J./Long Branch) for the contest's most.

 

• LU of PA was only able to secure a trio of assists on the stat sheet as Ciani Montgomery (Philadelphia, Pa./West Catholic Prep), Isis Triplett (Orlando, Fl./West Oaks Academy), and Taylor Brown (Waldorf, Md./Westlake) each dished out one.

 
Notes:
 

• Both squads endured 11 lead changes Wednesday evening including five alone in the fourth quarter.

 

• The home squad was limited to just one made three-pointer on 13 tries for a dismal percentage of just 7.7%, the best perimeter defensive showing of the year for the Lions.

 

• On top of shutting down the outside game, LU held onto the ball with a campaign-low two steals taken away and allowed its third-fewest point total of the season at 51.

 

• The Orange and Blue won despite getting hammered in the rebounding margin (43-29, -14), block battle (7-0), and assist game (14-3).

• It's "bring your kids to the arena" day as the Lions host the Bears of Shaw at 2 p.m. on Saturday as part of Youth Day.
