A dominant third quarter propelled the University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team (11-11) to overcome a 17-point halftime deficit and defeat the Penn State Nittany Lions (16-8) by a score of 69-64 Feb. 11.
Penn State throttled Wisconsin in the early goings by opening the game on a 17-6 run. Nine of those 17 points came from sophomore Shay Ciezki who would finish the game with an impressive 18 points on 5-10 shooting from behind the arc.
Penn State guard Ashley Owusu would put the exclamation point on a 25 point Lady Lion first quarter by cashing a buzzer-beater contested running heave from the Wisconsin logo.
