In a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division matchup, the Shippensburg University women’s basketball team defeated Kutztown University 80-66 at Heiges Field House. Shippensburg (6-8, 3-5 PSAC) led 33-20 at halftime, bolstered by a strong defense that forced 11 turnovers and limited Kutztown to 36-percent shooting in the first half.

Kutztown (6-9, 2-5 PSAC) closed the gap in the third quarter, reducing the deficit to five points, driven by Leila Hurley’s three three-pointers early in the half. Despite the comeback attempt, Shippensburg pulled away in the fourth quarter, scoring 33 points, its highest in a single quarter this season.
