Beaver cruises past Schuylkill

Schuykill, PA -- Friday, December 6th the Lady Lions traveled to Penn State Schuylkill for their conference opener.

In the second half Beaver's Asia Borders (Ellwood City, PA/Ellwood) kept their scoring efforts going adding 4 points to open the half.  By the 13:20 mark in the second half Beaver had increased their lead to 30 points (57-27) and easily cruised to victory by a final score of 89-35.

Junior, Kayona Ward (Beaver Falls, PA/Beaver Falls) and Freshman, Kelsey Brooks (Pittsburgh, PA/Carrick) both recorded double-doubles.  Ward with 10 points and 11 rebounds and Brooks with 16 points and 10 rebounds.  Brooks was also the leading scorer in the game.
