UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - In the first postseason game for Penn State in three years, the Lady Lions stayed alive by beating the visiting Ohio Bobcats, 74-65, in the first round of the WNIT.
The Lady Lions were a little bit slow out of the gate, trailing 9-0 through just under three whole minutes of action. Head coach Coquese Washington realized the need for things to change and called a vital timeout.
"Really I said 'okay, now we've gotta get back,'" Washington said to her squad in the huddle. "'We've had a few minutes to get our legs up under us, to get a feel for how they're playing, now we've gotta adjust and we've gotta start executing and doing the things that we've practiced,' and we started to do that.
