LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University women's basketball team (11-11, 8-9 PSAC East) is set to face the Shippensburg Raiders (17-7, 14-4 PSAC East) in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) East matchup this Saturday, February 15, with tip-off set for 1:00 p.m.
 
THE SERIES:

• This is the second meeting between the Bald Eagles and Shippensburg this season, the first of which came on Jan. 25, a 71- 60 win for the Raiders. The first and second quarters played out as expected with two evenly matched teams, as Shippensburg took a two-point lead into the break. Marena Lonardi (Elizabethtown, Pa./Elizabethtown) poured on the points in the third quarter, but it wasn't enough as the Raiders pulled away late to secure the victory.
• Lock Haven is 2-2 in the last four meetings with Shippensburg, and are 5-11 against the Raiders dating back to 2010-11 season.

 
NEED TO KNOW:

• The Raiders enter the weekend on a four-game win streak after downing the Millersville Marauders 84-79 last night (Feb. 12).
