Three Lightning Players in Double Figures as Women’s Basketball Falls to Gettysburg, 74-65

Box Score Fredericksburg, Va. – The Lehman College women's basketball team dropped the opening game in the Hyatt Place Tipoff Tournament, 74-65, to Gettysburg College on Friday in Fredericksburg, Virginia.  The team is now 1-1 on the season.
 
The game was back and forth in the first quarter.  It would eventually end at a 16-16 tie, but Lehman led by as many as three points when a Lillybeth Garcia layup at 7:12 made the score 8-5.
 
Gettysburg opened the second quarter with an 8-0 run to go up, 24-16.  Lehman responded with a 7-0 run of their own to pull within 24-23.  Lynda Fields started the scoring spree with a layup.  Olivia Stewart followed with a jumper.  Ayanna Behagen capped the run with a three-pointer.  The Lightning could never get over the final hurdle though, and trailed 35-30 at the half.
 
Gettysburg opened up a double-digit lead in the third quarter, before Lehman squelched it to within eight points, 58-50, heading into the final ten minutes.
 
The Bullets hit a three-pointer to open the fourth quarter, and their advantage was back in double digits, at 61-50.  Lehman fought back and used a 10-4 run to pull within five points, at 65-60.  Lillybeth Garcia accounted for four of the points, Lynda Fields and Lisa Fields each had two points, while Alliyah Dorsett made a bucket.  The Lightning could get no closer than five points, as Gettysburg went on to win, 74-65.
 
Dorsett had six points and a team-high 14 rebounds.  Behagen totaled 14 points and five steals.  Garcia shot 6-of-12 for 13 points and dished out five assists.
 
The Lehman College women's basketball team meets the loser of the Mary Washington & Wesleyan game in the consolation game on Saturday.
