MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – A huge fourth quarter lifted the Lebanon Valley women's basketball team over Penn State Harrisburg, 64-51, in non-conference action on Friday evening. LVC improves to 4-5 with the win while the Lions drop to 3-5.
 
The Dutchmen outscored PSU 29-13 in the final frame and shot the lights out, shooting 90% from the floor while also hitting all 10 of their free throws to erase a three-point deficit to take down the Lions.

Down the stretch, the Dutchmen would hit all 10 of their foul shots, including six in a row by Morgan Bamberger, to put away Penn State Harrisburg.
 
In the first quarter, the Dutchmen jumped on PSU 14-2 as LVC put the clamps on the Lion offense holding them to just 1-17 shooting and 0-14 from beyond-the-arc to grab control of the contest early.
