Penn State women's basketball downs Coppin State for first win of the season

Penn State fans can finally enjoy a win after Carolyn Kieger's squad put together a dominant opening night victory on Wednesday.

The Lady Lions downed Coppin State 84-45, becoming the first Penn State team to win a game since March 10 and the first team to win a game during the 2020-21 season.

Makenna Marisa got the scoring started for Penn State with a jump shot from the paint, but Coppin State responded with a 7-0 run behind two free throws from Nailah Delinois and five points from Aliyah Lawson.

From there, the Lady Lions took over, going on an 18-4 run to end the first quarter.
