Lady Lions came from down 21 points halfway through the third quarter to beat Syracuse by 13 points tonight. Syracuse, a bad three-point shooting team, hit its first six treys and the Lady Lions played like they just finished an overstuffed Thanksgiving dinner. No defensive effort and helter skelter offense in the first half, they could not have played worse.
Penn State caught fire halfway through the third quarter, Syracuse shooting returned to mean, and the Lady Lions claimed a remarkable comeback to open the season 5-0 and give the Orange its first loss. Contributions from across the roster tonight. Freshman PG Shay Ciezki is an emerging star.
