WEST CHESTER --The Bloomsburg University women's basketball team lost to West Chester on Wednesday night by a score of 87-74.

West Chester (15-11, 9-2 PSAC East) jumped out to an 11-point lead in the first half only to see Bloomsburg (6-20, 2-9 PSAC East) rally. With the Golden Rams leading 23-12 with just under 10 minutes left in the half, the Huskies went on an 11-2 run to get back within two points at 25-23. Kelly Joyce (Ashland/Cardinal Brennan) sparked the comeback connecting on three, three-pointers in a two-minute span. West Chester, though, came back and led by eight at halftime.

In the second half, Bloomsburg again cut the deficit back to two, 50-48, when Kirby Johnson (Woodstown, NJ/Woodstown) nailed a three-pointer with 16 minutes to go in the game. West Chester, though, would extend its lead to nine points before the Huskies put together yet another rally. Another Johnson three-pointer, this one with 5:04 to play, brought the Huskies to within, 71-68. But that would be as close as the Huskies would come as the Golden Rams went on a 16-5 run to end the game and win by 13.
