Lycoming opened the game with a 12-2 run sparked by a pair of three-pointers by senior Emily DiMarco. The Warriors stretched their lead to as many as 15 late in the period, but a three-pointer by Drew’s Melissa Kraft pulled the Rangers within 10 at the half.
In the second half, Lycoming never let Drew back in the game, using a 15-4 run early in the period to build a 23 point advantage. The Rangers never got closer than 17 the rest of the way.
DiMarco led all scorers with 21 points, while adding five steals and four assists. Mindy Culp chipped in 12 points and three assists. Amy Kile and Rebecca Pugh came off the bench to each score nine points. Danielle Kern pulled down a game high seven rebounds.
Kraft led Drew with 18 points – all on three pointers. Lauren Aliano added nine points and five rebounds.
