The Penn State DuBois Women's Basketball team had their first game of the season tonight as they travelled to Pitt-Bradford.  Veteran floor leaders Lexey Schick and Cierra O'Shell looked to bring a lot of energy for the start of the season. 

Pitt-Bradford started out strong, taking a 24-12 lead in the first quarter.  The DuBois defense stepped up in the 2^nd quarter however, holding Pitt-Bradford to 9 points in the quarter.  DuBois would go into the locker room at the half down 33-19.

The Lady Lions from DuBois came alive in the second half as they scored more in the 3^rd quarter than the entire first half.  With 22 points in both ending quarters, DuBois made a strong push to put Pitt-Bradford back on their heels.  The comeback surge was too little too late though, and DuBois would take their first loss of the season, 73-63.

Schick led DuBois scorers with 18, while Tara Hinderliter added 17, and they each had 4 steals to help the cause.  Sara DeHaas grabbed 8 rebounds for DuBois, and Schick grabbed 7 of her own.

DuBois will travel to Shenango on Tuesday for a PSUAC matchup at 6:00pm.
