Looking to avoid losing its fourth straight game on Sunday, Penn State started its afternoon matchup with No. 24 South Florida fast, but ultimately couldn’t stay with the high-flying Bulls.
The Lady Lions dropped to 3-5 on the season after starting the year 2-0, losing 101-79.
The Lions jumped out to an early 4-0 lead behind scores from sophomore Lindsey Spann and senior Brianna Banks.
The quick buckets prompted USF (5-2) coach Jose Fernandez to burn an early timeout.
The strong play wouldn’t last much longer for the Lions, however, as the Bulls used a 10-4 run to take a 10-8 lead at the 4:30 mark.
