After an attempt at a second half comeback, the Lady Lions fell short yet again thanks to a number of unsavory continued trends.
On Monday night, Penn State women’s basketball took on a shorthanded Ohio State team in Columbus that hadn’t played a game in 24 days.
The Buckeyes were the second ranked team in a stretch of three the Lady Lions will play, and after 40 minutes the Buckeyes came away with a 82-69 win, keeping the Lady Lions winless in Big Ten play.
Second year coach Carolyn Kieger elected to go with a zone defense early in the game, which proved to be the wrong decision as the Lady Lions allowed Ohio State to shoot over 50% from the field during the first five minutes of the game.
