Penn State women’s basketball drops matchup with No. 17 Ohio State

After getting off to an abnormally fast start on Sunday, Penn State looked as though it might pull off a second consecutive win over a top-25 opponent.

The Lady Lions raced out of the gates against No. 7 ranked Ohio State, clearly full of confidence and momentum after upsetting No. 17 ranked Michigan State on Thursday in East Lansing.

The Lions (9-16, 4-10 Big Ten) couldn’t however, duplicate their spirited fourth quarter that saw them defeat the Spartans three days earlier. They ultimately fell to the Buckeyes 77-63 after fading away in the final period of play.
