WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Allison Gallagher scored a season-high 26 points, but the Widener University women's basketball team fell to the Lycoming Warriors 79-61 on Saturday afternoon in a MAC Commonwealth contest.
 
Joining Gallagher in double figures was Madison Ireland who netted 14 for the Pride. Kyra Schenk led all players with 13 rebounds.
 
Widener got the early jump in the game as Gallagher scored nine of her points in the first with the Pride leading the majority of the frame before a late spurt gave Lycoming an 18-13 lead. The Warriors extended their lead as the second quarter went on, taking a 37-25 lead into halftime.
 
In the second half, the Blue and Gold battled back, opening the third period on a 15-9 run to slice the lead to six on an Ireland triple with 5:42 remaining. Lycoming recovered, however, and pushed the lead to 13 by the end of the frame.
 
Widener returns to action on Saturday, Dec. 16 when it travels to Rowan for a non-conference contest. Tipoff from Glassboro, N.J. is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
