After battling a nagging injury through the first half of the year, last season's leading scorer had her breakout game against Herkimer CC this past Saturday, scoring 28 points in the Lackawanna victory, 76-58, on the road. Desi shot 10-for-24, made three three-pointers, and was 5-for-8 from the free throw line. Earlier in the year, Desi had missed two weeks because of injury, then put up double-figures in scoring just once in five games after returning to the lineup. So, Saturday was a nice comeback for last year's top scorer. Desi is up to 13 points per game this season, shooting 33% from the floor and hitting 14 three-pointers, tied for first on the team, despite playing five less games. She averages just under three rebounds per game. Desi has scored in double-figures in four games this year, and her previous season-best came against Montgomery on the road, scoring 26 points in a loss. Desiree scored 405 points last year, averaging 16.9 points per game to lead the Falcons. She's up to 522 career points for Lackawanna College in two years.
 
Desiree is a sophomore student-athlete at Lackawanna College, studying Human Resources, with hopes to continue her academic and athletic careers at a four-year school and pursue an Occupational Therapy degree. Desi will be a guest on a future episode of Falcons Corner, which airs every week on the Lackawanna College Athletics YouTube.
