Fighting Tigers slip past Berks in second half

COBLESKILL, N.Y. - Kylie Herman notched a career-high in points, but it was not enough as SUNY Cobleskill used a second half rally to top the Nittany Lions, 70-64, in a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) contest on Saturday afternoon at Iorio Gymnasium.

The Nittany Lions (7-10, 5-7 NEAC) took a 20-12 lead after the first quarter and led by 14 points (37-23) at halftime. The Fighting Tigers rallied their way back into the game by outscoring Berks 26-13 in the third quarter to pull within one point (50-49). The Nittany Lions went ahead by four (53-49) with 8:05 remaining, but SUNY Cobleskill jumped ahead with an 8-0 rally and did not let the lead up the rest of the way. The Fighting Tigers secured the victory by going 6-for-6 from the foul line in the final minutes.

Herman shot 11-of-14 from the field on her way to a team-best 25 points. The .786 shooting percentage for the game by Herman is tied for the fourth best in a single-game in program history. In addition, the sophomore guard recorded seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals while playing all 40 minutes of the contest.

Melissa Martin chipped in 13 points to go along with six assists, five boards, and two steals. Jennifer Martin added 10 points and a career-high 12 rebounds to record the first double-double of her career. Sam Brensinger and Julia Bookwalter both finished with five points coming off the bench.

Addy Lawson knocked down five 3-pointers on her way to a contest-high 29 points. Ali Changa tallied 14 points and seven boards, while Shaliyah Graham had 13 points and seven rebounds.

The Nittany Lions will look to get back on track with a road game at Penn College on Sunday, February 4 at 1 p.m.
