Box Score 1/31/26
 
EDISON, NJ – A second-quarter drought put Lackawanna College women's basketball in a hole it could never climb out of, as the Falcons fell 82-46 on the road at Middlesex College in a Region XIX Division II contest on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Falcons (7-13, 1-9) tried to keep pace with the home side early, helped by four first quarter points from Canyah Randle (Scranton, PA), a long two-point jumper from Desireé Nales (Allentown, PA), and a three-ball from Abbie Larson (Olyphant, PA), but the Colts (9-14, 3-7) were running on all cylinders, scoring 27 points in the first quarter alone.
 
A Randle bucket with just a few minutes left in the first quarter was the last made shot for the Falcons for nearly 26 minutes of real time, as Middlesex stretched the lead out to 44-14 before Randle grabbed an offensive board and scored with the left hand late in the second quarter. The Colts led 46-14 at the break and were never really challenged again the rest of the way, even as the Falcons scored 12 and 20 points in the third and fourth quarters, respectively.
 
Randle finished with a team-high 13 points, while Alania Ortiz (Allentown, PA) scored ten points and Larson put up nine.
 
The Falcons are in action next on Tuesday, February 3^rd, when they are scheduled to travel to take on Raritan Valley CC in Region XIX DII play. Tip is set for 5:00pm ET in Branchburg, NJ inside Raritan's gymnasium, and the game is the first of a doubleheader, with the men's teams following at 7:00pm ET.
