Penn State women’s basketball runs away with win over Illinois

UNIVERSITY PARK

The fast break sparked the Penn State women’s basketball team Sunday.

The Lady Lions got out in transition on their way to an 82-66 win over Illinois at the Bryce Jordan Center.

“That’s a big thing that we really excel in,” Penn State’s Sierra Moore said. “Just me getting wide and people like Amari (Carter) finding me. That’s what really worked for us.”

Moore led Penn State with 19 points. Kaliyah Mitchell added 16 points off the bench, Teniya Page had 12 and Lindsey Spann added 10 for the Lady Lions, who outscored Illinois 18-2 on fast-break points.
