LANCASTER, Pa. - Penn State Harrisburg women's basketball team suffered a 75-51 setback against Neumann in F&M's Terry Greene Tip-Off Classic on Saturday night, Nov. 11. 

Ali Lister netted a career-high 19 points and grabbed five rebounds to lead the way. Ciani Redd-Howard added nine points and six boards, while Jayla Galbreath finished with eight points of her own. 

The Lions (0-2) struggled in the first quarter, as they only scored four total points and they went 2-for-16 from the field. Neumann (2-0) led by 20 going into the second quarter, before Penn State Harrisburg went on a 19-0 run in the back half to bring the game within four points. Galbreath sparked the run with a layup, the Lions converted five free throws, and Giahny Correa capped the spurt with a layup of her own. 

The Knights halted the Penn State Harrisburg momentum in the last 1:28 of the half, when they pulled ahead by 13 points going into the locker room for the break. Neumann came out swinging in the third quarter, as they once again got up to a 20-point lead and kept it throughout the second half.
