Penn State women’s basketball falls short to BYU

In the first meeting between the two programs, Penn State (3-3) could not keep up with BYU (3-3), falling short in its second game of the Radisson Chatsworth Thanksgiving Classic, 63-51.

Junior Peyton Whitted led the Lady Lions with 15 points, while junior Kaliyah Mitchell followed with 11.

Once again, the Lions kept the theme of starting slow alive, as the Cougars' aggressive defense held them to just 11 points in the first quarter.

BYU came into the second quarter with an 11-point lead before immediately putting up two more. The Lions then fought to pull within eight to make the score 28-20.
