SCRANTON, Pa. -- Lackawanna College bounced back from a rough shooting performance on Saturday with a much better outing three days later, leading wire-to-wire in a 64-55 triumph over Chesapeake on Tuesday evening inside the Lackawanna College Student Union.
 
The Falcons (7-5) led by as many as ten in the first half, and the lead swelled to as many as eleven in the second, but the Skipjacks (8-7) continued to make in-roads, cutting the deficit to just one point on two separate occasions. Lackawanna countered by closing hard in the fourth quarter, holding Chesapeake to just 28% in the quarter, while shooting 35% on their own and outscoring the Skipjacks 19-11 in the final quarter. Lackawanna held Chesapeake to just 1-for-17 shooting from three-point range, and scored 16 points off of eleven turnovers.
 
Lackawanna College was led by Gabrielle Jackson (Darby Twp, PA), who had a game-high 17 points on 6-for-15 shooting, hitting three three-pointers and pulling down six rebounds. Sidney Spence (Bronx, NY) had eleven points and six rebounds off the bench, while Nariyah Turner (Philadelphia, PA) scored ten points and had seven rebounds. Mahogony Collins (Harrisburg, PA) had eight points, nine rebounds, and eight blocks to lead the Falcons on defense.
 
Kendal Moxey led the Skipjacks, going for an impressive 19 points and 19 rebounds. Aniyah Quow scored 15 points and had five rebounds.
 
The next game for the Falcons will be Saturday, January 21^st, when Lackawanna travels to New Rochelle, NY to take on the Monroe College Mustangs. Tip-off is scheduled for 1:00pm ET at the Monroe Athletic Complex, and it'll be the first game of a doubleheader, with the men's teams scheduled to play afterwards at 3:00pm ET.
