How It Happened
BETHLEHEM, Pa. –
Hilary Yoh poured in a career-high 23 points, however Lebanon Valley's women's basketball team fell to Moravian by an 88-78 score in the 14th Roosevelt's 21st Greyhound Classic Championship game on Saturday afternoon. The Dutchmen slipped to 6-7 and the Greyhounds jumped to 9-3.
Moravian jumped out to an early 11-4 lead with 5:50 remaining in the opening period, but LVC stayed in it and was later down by just six at 16-10 with 1:33 left in the first. The Greyhounds responded and ended the quarter on a 6-1 run and led 22-11 after one quarter of action.
The Greyhounds were able to hold onto their double-digit lead throughout the second quarter and went into the locker room with a 41-20 lead.
After Moravian continued to lead by double digits in the third quarter, LVC made it interesting in the fourth period and stayed with the Greyhounds, but Moravian's potent offensive didn't miss many shots down the stretch and despite scoring 31 points in the fourth quarter, the Dutchmen eventually fell 88-78.
