Women's basketball falls in road contest to Harrisburg



MIDDLETOWN, PA (February 13, 2013) - Shanelle Koch led all scorers with 22 points, but it was not enough as the Penn State Berks women's basketball team suffered a 90-71 setback on the road to Penn State Harrisburg in a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) South Division contest on Wednesday evening. (Boxscore)

The Nittany Lions fall to 9-13 overall and 8-8 in the NEAC, which makes them tied with the College of Saint Elizabeth for third in the division. Harrisburg moves to 16-7 overall and 12-4 in the conference with the No. 2 seed in the South wrapped up.

Koch shot 8-for-13 from the floor and made all six of her free throws to finish one point shy of her season-high. The freshman guard raised her team-best scoring average to 15.9 points per game. Koch also pulled down seven rebounds and had a blocked shot. Kellie Wilson followed with 17 points and recorded nine rebounds, five steals, and four assists.

Keisha Robinson and Nichole Young-Trapp each added 10 points. Robinson had a career-high 10 assists to record her second double-double of the season, while Young-Trapp grabbed 10 boards to notch her seventh double-double. Robinson also had six steals and five assists.

Berks led 17-10 early in the first half before a 23-4 run by Harrisburg gave them a 12 point lead. Harrisburg led 46-37 at halftime, but Berks scratched away at the deficit and trailed by five points with 15:29 remaining in the contest. That is as close as Berks would get as Jasmine Yanich drained a 3-pointer to turn the momentum.

Mercedes Copeland led Harrisburg in scoring with 17 points and also recorded eight rebounds. Mikhail Whitcomb connect on four 3-pointers and finished with 16 points. Amanda Moyer netted 14 points and Yanich chipped in 11 to round out the Harrisburg players in double figures.
