MORRISTOWN, N.J. - The Penn State Berks women's basketball team dropped its season finale, 87-83, to the College of Saint Elizabeth in a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) South Division contest on Saturday afternoon.

Daddona pulled the Nittany Lions within two points on two occasions, while scoring 12 of the teams final 16 points down the stretch.

Daddona led all scorers with a season-high 24 points, 21 of which she recorded in the second half. The senior guard shot 6-of-15 from the field, including a 5-of-10 performance from 3-point range. This was the 10th time in Daddona's career that made five or more 3's in a game. In addition, she went a perfect 7-for-7 at the free throw line. Daddona grabbed a team-high seven rebounds to go along with four assists and one steal in 40 minutes of action.
