MIDDLETOWN, Pa. - The Penn State Harrisburg women's basketball team kicked off a weekend of NEAC competition on the right foot with a 76-49 win over the visiting Cazenovia College Wildcats. The Lady Lions improved to 8-5, 7-3 NEAC with Saturday's win.

Daril Foose(Altoona, PA/Altoona) registered her third double-double of season scoring 11 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.

Penn State Harrisburg hopped out to a quick 17-6 lead and continued their offensive dominance through the half. The Lady Lions entered the break with a 48-22 advantage and opened the second half with the same intensity that propelled them to that lead. Cazenovia scored just 4 points in the first seven minutes of play and committed a slew of turnovers leading to a handful of Penn State buckets.
