LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. – The Lincoln University of Pennsylvania women's basketball program received one last vintage performance from senior Kania Pollock (Queens, N.Y./The Mary Louis Academy), putting together her second double-double in the past three games to lead the Lions to a 55-52 decision over Elizabeth City State.
 
The win now makes Head Coach Janice Washington 2-for-2 when it comes to Northern Division Championships as the second-year leader clinched the title with the victory and a Bowie State loss at Virginia State.

Lincoln (PA) Top Performers:
 

• For the first 47 games of her Lions career, Pollock never grabbed more than eight boards in a single game nor notched a double-double. She surpassed both in her last two home games back-to-back, culminating in a game-best 13 points plus a personal/contest-high of 12 rebounds, leading all game participants with six assists on top of snatching away four steals as well.

 

• The only players to top the senior on her special day in any category was Anyssa Fields (Long Branch, N.J./Long Branch) who went for a game-best six steals and the team's single block.

 

• Ciani Montgomery (Philadelphia, Pa./West Catholic Prep) was the only other Lion to score in the double-digits and one of just three on either side during the defensive slugfest, recording 12 points off the bench.

 

• Isis Triplett (Orlando, Fl./West Oaks Academy), who has thrust herself into a starting role the past four matchups, spent a season-high 31 minutes on the floor, contributing nine points, six rebounds, an assist, and a steal on 4-of-6 (66.7%) shooting.

 
Notes:
 

• The Lions were ferocious on defense, snagging a campaign-high 18 steals which contributed to 28 Vikings turnovers for a plus-9 margin.

 

• The 28 mistakes by the visitors from North Carolina was the second-highest turnover tally caused by Lincoln this season, only topped by the 30 turnovers forced vs. Livingstone.

 
Next:
 

• The ladies can still earn the #1 seed in the CIAA Tournament with a win over the Lady Bulldogs on Saturday but would need a road upset by Saint Augustine's over Fayetteville State in Felton J. Capel Arena.
