Lady Lions Defeat California in Exhibition Game, 84-58

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The Lady Lions gave a glimpse of what's to come for the 2015-2016 season as they faced the California (Pa.) Vulcans in an exhibition game on Sunday. Coquese Washington's young squad shined in an 84-58 win over the reigning Division II national champions.

The game gave a lot of first looks of some new players to the team, including University of Connecticut transfer Brianna Banks. The redshirt senior had a game high 20 points, and continually showed her athleticism throughout the game. After spending over a year only being able to practice, Banks was relieved to finally get a chance to go out and play in a game, and didn't let her nerves get the best of her.
