Lady Barons Fall to D'Youville

BUFFALO, NY - The Lady Barons basketball team of Franciscan University of Steubenville traveled to D'Youville College on Friday, losing 66-41.  With the loss, the Lady Barons fell to 0-6 (0-3) on the season.

Holly Beats led D'Youville with 23 points in the game.

"We had a good first half," Lady Barons coach Kelly Herrmann remarked post-game.  "We were down 14 at the half, but were unable to keep pace with them in the second half.  D'Youville has two talented six foot players, and we were hard pressed to contain them with our guard-oriented offense.  Holly Beats led D'Youville with 23 points in the game.
