READING, Pa. — Albright's record-setting season continued right on cue Tuesday night as the Lady Lions routed Widener 76-50 for their 20th win of the season. The win sets up a showdown for a share of the regular season title at Messiah Saturday afternoon for the Lady Lions (8-1, 20-4), while Widener (2-7, 10-14) faces a winner-takes-all game with Elizabethtown Saturday for the final conference tournament spot.

One other record was set Tuesday night. When senior center Meredith Berger swatted a Laura Carson shot with 12:34 left in the second half, she passed Allison Koch to become Albright's all-time leader in blocked shots with 128.

The Lady Lions turned up the heat on Widener right from the opening tip, forcing six Pride turnovers in the opening two and a half minutes while running out to a 10-1 lead. Megan Sipple hit a three to pull Widener within six, but Bre Dillon answered with a three of her own, her second of the night, to push the lead right back to nine, 13-4. A Charlotte Ciccone jumper with 13 minutes to play in the half gave the Lady Lions a 19-9 lead, and Widener never got within single digits the rest of the night. Her bucket was the start of a 17-5 run that gave Albright a 20-point lead, 34-14, with 5:45 left before the break. Albright's largest lead of the half was 22, 38-16, after a pair of Jess McGinness free throws late in the period, and the Lady Lions took a 40-22 lead to the locker room at halftime. Widener could not draw closer in the second half, as Albright cruised to their fourth straight win and 11th in its last 12 games.

Jackie Hardwick led Albright with a 17-point, 11-rebound effort. She was 7-10 from the field in the game. McGinness totaled 15 points for the Lady Lions, while Jen DuPrau and Annie McMahon each added nine. Dillon had a game-high eight assists in the game. Barbara Fleming led Widener with 15 points, followed by Laura Carson with 10.
