Coppin State at Penn State

STATE COLLEGE Pa. (Interstat) — The Penn State Lady Lions off to a perfect start will look to continue their early-season momentum when they host the Coppin State Eagles in a non-conference women’s basketball game Wednesday at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Penn State (2-0) is coming off an 82-77 victory over Cincinnati on Friday. The Lady Lions’ offense has been potent averaging 82.5 points through their first two contests. Guard Kiyomi McMiller led the way against the Bearcats with 20 points and seven assists while center Gracie Merkle recorded a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Coppin State (1-2) arrives in State College after a challenging 88-59 road loss to Ohio State on Sunday. The Eagles have faced a difficult opening schedule with their lone win an 80-47 victory over Lincoln. In the loss to the Buckeyes Khila Morris scored 15 points and dished out four assists while Patricia Sosa Lora pulled down eight rebounds.

The game marks the beginning of a tough stretch for the Eagles who will face Tennessee and Oklahoma later this month. Penn State will hit the road for its next contest at Saint Joseph’s on Sunday.
