SCRANTON, Pa. -- Monica Spence picked up her first win as head coach for Lackawanna College, as the Falcons finally clicked into gear, picking up a dominant 83-59 victory on the road on Saturday afternoon as part of the Murph Shapiro Classic in Rochester against the hosts, Monroe CC.
 
The Falcons (1-3) put five players in double-figures and shot an outstanding 23-for-24 from the free throw line, while holding their opponents to 33% overall from the field, and just 19% from downtown. Sidney Spence (Bronx, NY) had a team-high 15 points off the bench, part of 26 bench points for the Falcons. Spence had nine rebounds and a pair of steals, going 5-for-9 from the field and 5-for-5 from the free throw line. Dominique Geiger (Plainfield, NJ) and Cianna Roberts (Brooklyn, NY) each had 14 points for Lackawanna. Roberts had ten rebounds for her first career double-double, while Geiger was a team-best 6-for-6 from the free throw line. Nya Jackson (Harrisburg, PA) added 13 points and six boards.
 
After a tight first half, the Falcons outscored the Tribunes (1-4) 45-23 in the second half, expanding what was a two-point halftime lead into one they'd never surrender.
 
Lackawanna College next plays the Jamestown CC Jayhawks on Sunday at 12:00pm ET for their final game of the Murph Shapiro Classic in Rochester.
