READING, Pa. --- The Moravian University women's basketball squad dropped a 65-48 non-conference decision at Albright College Saturday afternoon. 

How It Happened

  • The Greyhounds scored the first four points of the contest on lay-ups from sophomore forward Sam Osorio and senior forward Kayla Yoegel in the opening 40 seconds of action. Yoegel netted a jumper at the 5:34 mark to push the Hounds' lead to 8-4; however, a 10-2 run by the Lions had Albright up 14-10 after 10 minutes of action
  • Moravian tied the game 2:15 into the second quarter when junior guard Morgan Amy drained a jumper to knot the score at 14-14. It was an 18-18 contest after a jumper from Yoegel with 5:48 left in the first half. Albright moved ahead by three points while the Blue and Grey cut the deficit to one point, 23-22, on a lay-up from sophomore forward Gracie Hezel in the final minute of the second quarter and that would be the score at halftime
  • Osorio gave Moravian the lead back 1:43 in third quarter at 26-25 on a put back jumper, but that would be the Greyhounds final edge of the contest. The Hounds were down 29-28 after a lay-up from junior guard Jackie Kelly a minute later before Lions used an 18-9 run to end the quarter with a 47-37 edge after 30 minutes of action
  • Yoegel began the fourth quarter with a three-pointer to cut the deficit to seven points; however, Albright would push the advantage back into double digits for the final seven minutes of action
