Spartans Fall in Close Battle at Alvernia

READING, Pa. – The York women's basketball team came up just short in a back-and-forth battle at Alvernia on Wednesday night as the Golden Wolves escaped with a 62-57 victory.

Team Records
York: 6-14 (4-5 MACC)
Alvernia: 10-10 (5-4 MACC)

How It Happened
York and Alvernia went back-and-forth through the early part of the first quarter, before the two teams combined for just one bucket in the final five minutes of the period which resulted in a 10-9 Alvernia lead after 10 minutes of play. The Golden Wolves extended their lead to as much as eight points in the second quarter as they out-scored the Spartans, 19-13, to take a 29-22 halftime advantage.

The Spartans opened the third quarter on an 8-0 run and regained the lead, 30-29, just over two minutes out of the halftime break. The Golden Wolves countered with a 10-2 run to take a seven-point lead, but York responded again and cut the margin down to a one-possession game by the end of the quarter with Alvernia clinging to a 47-45 lead.

Alvernia opened up a seven-point lead three minutes into the fourth quarter, but York responded with an 8-0 run to take a 57-56 lead with 2:52 remaining. Unfortunately, the Spartans were silenced the rest of the way as they went 0-for-4 from the field and the Golden Wolves six unanswered points, including four on second-chance opportunities, to secure the win.
